I'm glad you piped in Nate, I was starting to wonder if I rode like a
pussy all the time or something!  I got almost 10k out of my last set, but
I'm not gonna get that out of this set I can already tell - have had a
couple more trips to the good roads on this set already than all of the
last set saw.  I can't comment too much on the set that was on it when I
bout it, but guessing those made 7 to 8k.  

If someone with BT-020's is getting less than 4k I'd suspect they go to
the track alot, live in the SE where the good roads are very abrasive, or
they ride like a maniac on the street and *need* to get to a track
instead!  What could be so wrong with setup that would eat tires like
that?
