Gidday Richard, as a matter of fact my front lasertechs were getting similar sad longevity results at much the same pump up pressure, which is why I went to the marathons.
Btw the rear was lasting longer but probably about 10k Max using 34psi which is still disgraceful and not looking promising that Staffo will ever return to them.
Mind you they did seem to be a good wet weather tyre with no real scares there and I wonder how they would have been if I'd given them more psi.
Now I'm trying out the 880's but whilst I've not yet had any wet weather issues, there have been a few times which made me wonder whether a slight shift underfoot hadn't occured.
Time will tell but I've only been running the rear on 36psi so before my next ride I'll be increasing that by 4 Psi.
Same as the front but it'll be going up by 2 to 36psi for now. I'm also getting a lot more k's out of the Marathons but like others it means to naught if I find their wet weather performance doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
I guess I'm hoping the wet weather issues some have experienced is more associated with them wanting more air more than anything else. Which is why I'd like to hear from anyone like Moe or anyone else who may have ridden the marathons with the recommended pressures in some testing wet weather conditions and hear what they think.
