If VWGasGuy measures his tread depth, it would give a better indication on the life expectancy of these tires.

OK Nash, I'm sure you're not really wanting to call me "VW" instead of "WV" GasGuy.

I don't have a tire depth gage but I'll try to figure out if I can measure it somehow. A lot of my milage is on grooved concrete roads rather than blacktop and that probably affects the wear drastically.
