    I usually replace mine before the start of the season, although at times I wait until May or so. I ride between 2,500 and 3,000 miles a year.
    Like Marni, I keep my tires inflated fairly high and check them before every ride. I have had 2 flats in 10 years and one was from the actual tire being cut on a century ride.

    My continentals actually have wear indictors made into the tire. My last set I waited too long and flatted, now once the indicator starts to go, I replace them. It's about once a year.

    I take my Conti GP4000s down to the wear bars too. I normally get 1800-2000 from a rear and 3500-4000 front.

    Can anyone with the 25mm Zaffiro Pro Slicks give me a ballpark of what sort of mileage I can expect? I have about 2300 miles on them and they still look great--still not even a single flat *knocks on wood*. Hubby gets ~2k from his Contis, but he's also 240-250#s, depending upon the season.

    I get about 3000 miles or so on my tires or until they start looking square.
