Default Pro Comp tires... leave on or take off?

what do you all think??? 71k miles on them, not at the wear bars yet. 2 pics are of the near new ones in the garage... for comparison

If they roll as smooth as they look, I would leave them on for a few more miles. Try to set a new record. Heck, here in the deep South we would try to get another 70k out of them.

I say leave 'em as long as they still have good road manners. With the mileage you are racking up, you'll have several more thousand miles on them in no time.

With the lack of winter we have her in CA Steve I would leave them on. Wear them down more. Now if we get another rain storm like we did the past few weeks i would say just for a safety issue I would change them. But I would def keep them and then you have a decent spare for wheeling.

well the steering kit is on it's way and should be here monday or tuesday. If that fixes the shaking I get up front, they will stay on, if not then I'll look for another cause... if I cant find anything then the tires would have to be next. I think there is another 10k on them, but I've been saying that for 20k now lol.

The lack of a winter doesnt necessarily hold true... working up in Grass Valley I've seen a good amount of snow & ice (not that any tire will help with ice)... so far in the snow they have remained grippy...

The smoother they get the better your mileage should be, I say leave them on.

I'll agree with the others... If they still hold traction... then they're still good... why not get your money out of them?

$1000 bux+ my stockersfor 2 week old rims & tires, 71,000 miles... I think I got my money's worth out of them they are still grippy and the last time I tried the wet pavement brake stomp, they worked awesome.
