Bruce,
Have you taken a tire apart to see what the beads look like after long wear? If you did were the beads whole or broken, like one manufacturer said they would be after prolong use.
Thanks for the input!

Hi Rosy, like I said in my post I had 22000 on the front tire when I replaced it, the beads looked fine. I could not find any broken or chipped. I reused the ones from the original tire when I put the new tire on.
