mine keep reincarnating. i have sold them three seperate times, they are STILL in my shed. it's like some sick Pet Cemetary twist.
i sell them, people back out at the last minute, they just wont go the hell away.

I replaced my 255/75 R17 SRA's today, 35,000 miles. They still had about 1/3 tread left, but I drive 120 miles round-trip daily at 75 mph, and I ruined one Friday so I just replaced them all so I don't have to worry with them....Got new SRA's thru The Tire Rack online, $87.00 apiece plus shipping. Got them here from Dover, Delaware in one day UPS. I mounted and balanced them myself at work....
You replaced SR-As with another set of SR-As? There's a bunch of us running SR-As right now and intentionally driving over every road hazard in site trying to destroy one (or even better, two) so the spouse will agree to a new set of 35s.
Seriously, though. As much as I hate the SR-A, I've been shocked at the soft ride and traction they'll provide when aired down to 20 PSI on the trail. It tears up the sidewalls (I've got the white stuff showing through in a few places), but that's just shortening the life even more.

I had 20k on mine when I sold them, easily had over 50% tread remaining. Off road however, the weak sidewalls were obvious. Literally ripped a 3 inch tear after some mild trail use aired down to 15lbs.
