[QUOTE 4220954, member: 76"]How many miles by the way? I did a load of traIning for my LEJOG, then did the ride and the Schwalbe Marathon definitely needed changing. I don't know how many miles though, I should have kept a bit of note.

How far are we all getting from our tyres?[/QUOTE]
I'm afraid I really don't know. If I had to guess, I'd guess maybe something like 1500 miles, but it really is a very approximate guesstimate. The tyre does work very hard though - back wheel on a fixie, lots of stop-starting on scrappy London roads. I've been very pleased with it overall - a Vittorio I got on special offer for under a tenner that's run & lasted and puncture-resisted at least as well as much costlier Continentals I've ridden in the past.
