I don't know about CdV longevity, never having used them, but you've gotten more miles out of those than I normally get out of any tire on the rear wheel. I think the longest wearing 700C tires I have used have been Conti Grand Prix and Ultra 2000, which lasted about 2500 miles on the rear. Also, 1 flat in 3000 miles is pretty spectacular. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
