Agreed 404's are nice riding grippy tires but 6 to 8000 miles is about the limit.
I just want a tire that grips like a slick in the dry, like a formula 1 rain tire in the wet, like a studded tire in the snow and mud, that will last 50,000 miles is 100% puncture resistant, and costs $20 new,,,,, is that to much to ask.
