RE: Tires f/ Spiders, P6000s/RE950s

[Steve An <stevean@domain.elided>]

FWIW, I've been told you can't compare wear ratings between different 
brands, they are relative indicators within that brand. There is no 
universal standard.

In reality, the Brickstone RE950's may indeed last twice as long as the 
Pirelli P6000s, but you can't make that claim by the wear ratings alone.

I am in need of new shoes for the Milano. And I am leaning toward the AVSi 
again since they are so cheap these days. At roughly $50/tire are there 
other tires that offer better bang for the bucks?
