Longevity and grip usually do not go hand in hand. But if it is longevity you seek the higher the treadwear value the longer a tyre lasts. This value is not however comparable between different brands of tyre I would also advise you to note the temperature grade of the tyre as the higher it is the b...

Re: Official Highway Works Thread

That 'making it rough' u talking about.... U sure they not milling the road before resheeting? Because it's impractical to put 'rumble strips' on the main droving lanes. I am not sure but at the moment it appears to be similar to what was done on the main road in Oropouche by the S.M. Jaleel factory.

Yes sir it's possible.
But if the vehicle is cutting off from change of load or losing power you can change it before. When the filter is approaching its limit you will feel it.
