[QUOTE="AApple, post: 93078, member: 56"] :headscratch: I rides the same way I did with the "original" Dunlop EII that survived 2 years until the tread separated. Don't know how old that tire was when I bought the bike. [GALLERY=media, 20544][/GALLERY] Still had plenty of tread..... I don't baby it, but I also don't take off from a stop like a bat outta hell. I really think the biggest issue is the load rating of the tires. Gerry, I don't think your ride is quite as heavy as mine. The Hondaline fairing is definitely heavier than the Vetter, plus I have the add-on stereo. And...[b]I don't know[/b], but I might weight a little more than you at 230(give or take :blush: ). Might also have something to do with road conditions here....some of them surfaces are pretty rough/course. Lot's of rain grooves(parallel and perpendicular) in cement surfaces, too. 90% of my commute is straight down the road...very few curves anywhere, so the bike is pretty much straight up all the time. I've never spun the rear tire, or even tried a burn out...or wheelie...not that I haven't thought aboot it.... :blush: :smilie_happy: Ya'll think the 75-80 mph cruize speed is contributing? Once you get to a specific velocity, there really shouldn't be much extra stress on the tread wear..no? :headscratch: [/QUOTE]
