how long do they last

I use these tires exclusively for my 09 GTI and 07 Passat Wagon VR6. I replaced the equipped tires for the Passat 18,000 miles ago and the Conti ExtremeContacts almost look new. Rotated regular they have a great ride. I am on the second set for the GTI, the first took me just over 40,000 miles. This was pleasantly surprising considering the driving style and harsh weather conditions in South Florida. I look for a tire that has superior traction versus one that gets higher mileage. I value the security of better traction despite the typical sacrifice of super mileage tires. My loved ones are worth the investment... Choose wisely.

There is a little variation with some but, on average, I would say about three weeks. I've used them for about a year in two separate locations in the house. Hope this helps.

I bought a pair of these in late September. After about 150 miles of running something within them has given way and makes a noticeable rattling on the control (right ear) side.. They still work though, but just bear in mind that they are a consumable that will not last for years on end. Given that they are rechargeable, I figured I'd get about 18-24 solid months out of them, but sadly that may not be the case. I'll use them till they fail or if the rattling becomes overly obnoxious. I've used them in warm temps, freezing temps, light rain and snow and they work just fine. They aren't water/weatherproof, but given the physical breakdown I'll have no qualms against using them out in the elements. I bought a pair of these in late September.

I'm sure they would last beyond a year. I've had mine for maybe 6-8 months and some have changed shape a little, but otherwise they are all perfectly fine!

About a good 6 hours maybe 8...I bought them as a Christmas gift for my two kids and to be honest I don't allow them on longer than an hour but my husband used it for 6 hours straight. Pretty good product I honestly can't complain.

Some have lasted me a full 2 days. but some not even a day. So its a flip of a coin..

I don't know, mine were good for 3-4 months. If you contact the seller maybe they can tell you.

For me , they last about 4 months. I use them in a home repair business but must add that I do not use them everyday.

They seem to last for a long time. I did not see any spots on them and I have had them for a couple of months. After this weekend, they are all gone.

They last a long time, atleast over a year. Be careful not to drop them because they will break on a concrete floor pretty easily! That is the only reason I have had to buy more.

I only use mine for 1 to 2 hours a day. I've had them for 7 months and have not had a problem with them.

On average they last about 30 days. It depends upon how high you have them turned up and how often the dog approaches the boundary.

Mine are fairly new (a few months old), and they're still perfect. With decent care, I figure they'd probably last a year or more with daily use. But I don't really know--this is my first set.

Most of the time they last me all summer. The ones I put in when I got the pump are still in there so that is at least 3 months now. I hope that helped you.

I read somewhere that these are suppose to last for up to a year. Just make sure you keep them stored somewhere cool.

most last about 10hrs...however there are some that I've bought that were still hot the next morning..(activate at 8am and still warm next day same time)I only need them to last an 8 hr shift at work...I have arthritis in my hands & wrists and these help with the pain of keying on a computer all day...I use them in fingerless "gloves" as far as shelf life I buy a large box & use them 5 days a week..so I dont keep them for months...they do not activate until opened ...

They last a long time. I can't tell you how long I had the first one but I know it was at least five or more years.
