Should not see steel belts with no tread after 4500 milesView attachment 28979
Appreciate the flattery, Red Fox re sides of tires! We'll see if Michelin is better.Congrats on using up the sides of your tires! Thinking you will really like whatever other brand replacement tire you choose.
A number of tire threads here and elsewhere ... and you can experiment with tire psi - if you choose to.
My original/OEM tire looked about the same at approx. the same miles.
Went for a ride (thinking it had enough treat for the day) and the last of the tread wore away "very" quickly.
Had to nurse it 100 miles, looking like that to get home.
Ride safe, Ted
Michelin Pilot 2 is fantastic. Could tell the difference immediately. Not just vs the old beat up Battlax - the bike handles much better than when the battlax was newCongrats on using up the sides of your tires! Thinking you will really like whatever other brand replacement tire you choose.
