Hi folks - just wanted to provide some details as I take off my winter tires for the season. These were the Blizzak LT 275/65 R20.
Miles: 8760
Efficiency: 2.04 mi/kWh
Tread wear: 3/32 (tread depth is now at 14/32, originally 17/32).
I am pretty impressed that these did not wear down more, considering in the Colorado front range you do a lot of dry pavement driving on snow tires. For comparison, my 20" All terrains wore down 5/32 after 7200 miles (originally 13/32, now 8/32). Wear was pretty even across the board, most of the driving was in all purpose/snow mode.
EDIT: reminded below, it is probably worth mentioning in the warmer weather I was seeing basically an identical efficiency to the Pirellis (2.2 mi/kWh). I believe it is just the cold weather that led to a lower efficiency, the tires did not have an appreciable impact.
