What about a tire survey?

GG - saw one guy talking about 6000 miles on these tires - what's your thought?

6000 miles? Psah! I am hoping for 10k miles out of the rear ... I know I will get lots more out of the front.  Wink  

A picture is worth 1000 words. Just took this one for you. Of course, mileage depends on many factors including road surface, riding style, smoothness of the rider, etc., etc.

Wow.... That's a lot of tread after 7000 miles on a quarter ton bike...,

( though remember 90% of flats occur in the last 10% of tire life. I'd say that rear has about $20 of tire left.)

Thanks GG.
