How many miles did you get on that rear tire Dave?
The factory rear I got 12,500 miles out of. It was howling in the curves bad by 6K miles, and you could see the cupping. This is the second rear, and it is an American Elite. I got 13K out of it, it is bald from chicken strip to chicken strip which are very small chicken strips. This tire never ever howled in the curves and I never saw cupping. Last 2K miles on this tire were after I built the motor.
I thought I would get a little longer wear out of the American Elite. Was told I need to run 42 in the rear, so I will try that this time, as I ran 40 in the rear this time.
Raining today so no riding today. Dang.
