Good grief,
After poor mileage and cupping issues on the front tire (OEM) last year, I changed over to the RoadSmart 4 tires you have all been raving about here.
Now after this season's riding at about 14,000 kms....I am told this front tire is badly worn with cupping issue too and has to be replaced ?!
It bums me out, because I has spectacular results with the Dunlop Elite 4 tires on my Yamaha 1300 v- previously- getting over 30k on the rear and 50k on the front !!
What am I doing wrong ??
Why is the R 1250RS eating tires ??
Can I change the front NOW to the Elite 4- and the rear LATERÂ when it is worn ?? Being mismatched for a year or 2...
We ride casually 2-up touring, paved good roads, speed limit or less, our combined weights are "only" 260 lbs, always make sure tire pressure is in-the-range or a wee higher (36 psi front and 42psi rear as recommended)
Thanks for your advice in advance !!
