RibMo stands for ride bike more and I could not agree more. I finally wore down my front tire down to the threads on the sidewall, after over 3 years and 9,000 miles! I go through 1 a year and 3,000 miles on the rear tire on my commuter bike and have used these tires exclusively for 4 years. Great road hazard protection, except for 1 wood screw that went through the tread and the tube protector strip inside the tire that I use.
