  • Hit my first milestone!!

    I hit the wearbars on my first rear tire!

    I'll have to search for photos of my odo when I installed em, I lost my paperwork.

    But most of the tire wear was from my ohio trip...I put over 3k on it then.
    It has been a year almost since that trip...and being my DD to and from work, and all over town n such, I'm sure I got some miles on it!

    I also have/had Shinko 712s and don't know how many miles were on the rear when I pulled it the other week. I think it was pushing 4k but was getting slick in the middle. The front still looks real good.

    If I didn't feel the need for speed the back would have lasted longer!

      The more I ride....the more I seem to want to wear the tire as well

          The profile is a bit flat across the middle, but there are some miles left for that tire.

            oh yeah, but I want to have my hands on another tire at least.

            I dont like hitting wear bars on a car, meh...but on a bike....the more tread the better
