Erik,

At 5,000 miles my rear GTS is at 4.1mm and the front is at 4.2mm tread depth.

Squaring off on the rear is now slightly evident, but considering the 
amount of highway miles, I am very impressed with the wear.

Between Monday and Tuesday, I did over 700 miles in the rain and never once 
felt uneasy.

Put on about 200 miles around Asheville testing out some of the twisties 
and they felt equally secure there.

I'll be ordering another set for the Rallye.......
