It's looking to me, like I'll wear out 3 rears for 1 front tire.
I'll be swapping out the rear before I go to CON or Mountain Crawl.
The City Grips are great road huggers, but the wear is not very long, 4-5,000 miles or so.

I'll use them until the front tire needs replaced, and then shop for something else.
A bit less then 5 months for CON, and MC.
I better start the stuff gathering for the trips this year.

Tire wear

Cheapeto, one member on this site turned me on to the Dark Side. In essence, you mount a car type tire on the rear. I've been on the same rear tire for 20k plus miles now. Lots of tread left, you just have a slight difference in feel during hard cornering.
