That would depend on the road/air temperature too; probably XZX work well in the UK's modest summer temperatures (about the same as winter in coastal Calif!). FWIW: My oldest running XZXs are about 14 years old, and the youngest about 8. They've been shared by two Type 3s so I'm not sure how many miles they've covered; maybe 20 to 30K. As I said, it depends on what sort of use they get. Dave.
