No, hence the concern about rougher roads. I just worked on the 'bigger is stronger' principle with the self-tappers, but that setup was still tight after more than 60,000kms, some on Outback...

From personal experience with the Hankooks, you should expect to find noise increasing, and wet-weather grip decreasing around the 65,000km mark. They still had 'tread' left at 70,000km but were...
