.......... as I ride 3 miles of gravel road every day & 24 miles of twisty turny deer
infested, raccoon filled, possum crawling mountain pass to work at 4:30 am
Sounds like tire mileage is the least of your problems........

After my earlier post, above, my set finished with 7,500km on them or about 4,600 miles. Good handling tire, but pretty unimpressive tire life. The T30 EVO set I'm now running seem to be wearing the same so looks like new rubber by June '17 or so. I'm probably be looking for another brand or model of tire.

Just bought a pair of T30 EVO GT's front and rear. Will have them on for spring while waiting for WINTER to leave. Not really happy with my PR4 GT's. Front tire is very heavy feeling and loud compared to the factory Batlax020 Bridgestone's, I do like the rear tire PR4 overall though it does not feel as sticky at lean as the 020's seeing how I had it drift on me a few times in the corners.
Will comment mid summer 17 after I get some miles on them.

Tried 2 sets and though I like the tire, and recommended them before, I had a bad squirrely front on first set and now on the second set an out of round rear. Seems like quality control may be sacrificed for lower price. Switching back to Metzler or...?

Put on a set 5/16/16. Now have 13,943 miles on them. Both tires have worn evenly. Rear is almost to the wear bars. (I normally get 15,000 to 16,500 on whatever I run.) Russ.

Anyone seen a Bridgestone rebate offer yet for this year?
Just picked up a set on Jakewilson.com for $235.00 no tax free 3 day shipping and they have the Bridgestone $50 Visa card offer until the end of March!! Hard to beat a new set of shoes for $185!

Just got a notification that my rebate was approved for $100. Guess it is $50 per tire! $135 for a set of 2 is a smoking deal!

Great deal! I put a set of those tires in a shopping cart at JakeWilson.com and proceeded to checkout, but I can't find the link or offer on $50 off per tire. Anyone able to provide any info? TIA

Tires are a good deal, but I couldn't find any info that there's a Bridgestone rebate available through March (I did find one through Sept 2016). :confused:

While looking, I came across this in the Q&A on the JakeWilson site:
I didn't receive the link for my rebate. How do I submit it?
A link to the rebate form will be emailed to you within 48 hours after your order has shipped. Once the form has been completed and submitted please allow up to 10 weeks for your rebate to be received.
... it seems a rebate might be hit-or-miss.

My email containing the rebate information showed up within 48 hours of my order. Actually tires were delivered before receiving email.
Thanks for the info ... it is nice to get an affirmation from someone that that's how it worked. :)

Got a email 2 days ago stating that Bridgestone had received my rebate information, and a email yesterday that is was accepted and being processed. Should have rebate in 6-8 weeks.

I ordered a set today from jakewilson.com. This deal is too good to pass up. After the rebate, I'll be in to them for $137 for both. Now I just need to buy a tire-changer and I'll be set!
