Moving the thread won't make much difference as I suspect a far number of us have got part worn Anakee 3's in our sheds / garages. I reckon that it's only the masochistic or tightfisted that actually wear them out.
I quite like the Anakee 3s and have just gone through my second set. Got a set of PR4s in garage and will put these on before the next tour ( week on friday )
I suppose it's down to preference. I don't mind the A3's as a road tyre but I am putting some TKC70's on my bike which meet my needs better than a pure road tyre.
