PVSoonerFan Posted August 4, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2008 Just got to experience my first flat on my '07 RSV. Exiting the interstate I felt the bike wobbling and the back tire went flat. Ended up having to have a wrecker come with a cycle trailer to get me. In 106°F heat it was a "trying" experience. Guess 9k on the tire indicates that it is time for a new one. The rear tread looks like there is quite a bit of wear left, but with the heat and running 75 mph or so for 60 miles might have taken a toll on the tire.

GunnyButch Posted August 4, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2008 Depending on the tire 9K is not bad. My original bridgestone went about 9K, been on Avons ever since getting about 14-15K from rear tires now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Fan Posted August 4, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2008 What tire did you have on? Dunlops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted August 4, 2008 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2008 I'm glad to hear that yours went flat somewhat slow, it sucks when they explode at 70 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
