How much tread depth do you have to the center most wear bar?
Are you feeling lucky

Here's my tire when I changed it with 8,500 miles and 3/32 inch depth at the red line.

Here's Deb's when changed at 7,700 miles and 2.5/32 inch depth at the red line.

Lee - seriously. How much would it cost to ship one tire to me? Two tires? I would pay for those if you're not using them. Those look like new tires.

Those are from 2019 when I ordered tires and had the vendor ship them to Texas where the place we stayed had a tire changer.

Screenshot is from my wife's '20 R1250GS.

Isn't 31 degrees left about what it reads on the kickstand?

As promised an up-date on the Avon Spirit ST's

Now at 1600 miles on them and they are superb, silent, comfortable and great grip wet or dry. They just do what tyres should!

The rear tire needed fully 2 ounces to balance out. Directly opposite the tpm location. That's eight of the 7 gram weights. I even rotated the tire yellow dot to try and improve things, but that made no difference. Are you guys seeing that much weight needed? Anyone know how much the tpm dohicky weighs?

(08-23-2021, 08:25 AM)Grumpy Goat Wrote: Congratulations Bob. Yes I have only fought with the rear tires and am yet to achieve success. After the last time I tried, I also bought some tire irons so next time I might meet with success. Good to hear that the front tire is much easier. Yes my rear tire has a lot of weights on it as well. The TPMS is not that heavy. Here is the weight of one that Darrell sent me some time ago for me to try and replace the battery on ... as you know it is a bear of a replacement (designed not to be replaced, actually).
