jrsc4excel Posted October 17, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 17, 2009 I have only a few comments for you on these pictures. If you were the operator of this bike with these tires installed and you ran them that far past the wear bars then I pray to GOD that I am never in the same stretch of open air that you are. Good luck!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1rooster Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted October 17, 2009 Holly crap!!! Thats after 3k miles??? is that the original Brickstone??? That is a Dunlop 404.As you can see there is more wear on one side than the other.That is due to a sidecar on the bike.Without a passenger in the chair I have a slight lean on the bike.The tire was inspected before a 350 mile trip and looked very good.That was the tire after that trip.Last 50 miles of the trip was every backroad in NC at 25 to 35 mph.

Good luck!!!! That is my 6th rear tire on the bike since mounting the sidecar 2 years ago.The tire had 2700 miles on it before my ride.Looking at the tire it looked good for 2 or 3 thousand miles more.The sidecar really eats up rear tires,that is the reason I went to the Kumho car tire.

BigBoyinMS Posted October 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 17, 2009 From the looks of the MT you may get 10-12K out of the Kumho. It will be interesting to compare those pics to the Kumho when it wears out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
