"Lastingness" eh? New wurds are gud.
Not trying to be a smart ass but, how do you know?
i got my my first set of 9" GoodYear R250s *used* from bill pickering. he had run them for a full season of AX on the old "kitty" 914 AX monster.
they came mounted on a set of 15x7 cookie cutters.
that was 4 years ago.
i schtill run those same wheels and tires at AX and i'm gonna go and run them at the upcoming AX shootout ...
are they as good as brand new ones? course not. but they schtill provide *plenty* of schtickage and schtill have rubber left on them!
i'm guessing at least 50 AX events. if you count each run as a heat cycle, we're talking 400 cycles ...
they're sitting in my closet right now, rubber schtill schticks when i touch 'em (
)
the first run out, they feel like driving on ice, after that, the rubber gets muschy again and schticks.
well enough for my schkills anyways ...
flame away ...
