Prima tire life "somewhat" confirmed

It was a dark and lonely night, only the crickets and a wide-eyed crazy scooter pilot flying down the back country road. Thoughts of wonder, thoughts of glee, and thoughts of impending doom as the odometer hits 4790. Will the tire make it home? Flashing images of "Kramer" pushing the the envelope after the needle hit "E", how many miles can they go?, how many miles can I go? I get home, the odometer reads 4800, another successful journey. I check my email, my tires get here tommorrow, woooot, I don't know how many more miles I could have gone, unlike Kramer, I'll never know I'm off to the tire shop on Wednesday to have the new shoes put on :D .
This was my feeble attempt at writing humor I hope it wasn't to bad.

Hey you got twice the milage from yours as I got from my Prima. (But mine was a white wall, so perhaps that is the difference)

Mine looks OK at 2200. Not sure if I'll get to 4800 with it, but oh well.

Had the Primas on my ET4; just went to Metzeler... what a difference!!!!!!

Loves the looks of the Prima white walls, but as soon as it was wet, the back end always slipped on wet roads!

AFAIC, there are no good whitewalls in Buddy (or Stella!) sizes at this time. They just get dirty anyways. Ditch 'em and get some great blackwalls!

Luigi said it best, "No, no, no! You don't know what you want! Luigi know what you want. Black-wall tires, they blend into the pavement, but these white-wall tires, they say look at me, here I am, love me."
