Hi Richard,
I replaced a set of Michelin tires with the Gillettes. The Gillettes
have pretty good tread pattern & the rubber is fairly sticky with a
durometer hardness of around 65. All in all, very good wet or dry
traction with a reasonably long life expectency. The tread itself is
a little wider than many of the 165-15's that are available. When
these wear out I will replace them with the same.
Regards,
Dave Russell
