Progressive 460's in the back and Progressive springs up front, Dark side w/ Goodyear Assurance, rear tire up front.
I don't even feel the difference of the CT.  Members have stated that some of the harshness goes away after several hundred miles but they didn't speak of the CT behavioral characteristics diminishing as well.  And with the trunk removed, like a whole new bike.

Which rear tire are you running on the front?  And is it bias or radial?

Cool!! you wont be looking for tires for a long time, i have have a GoodyearTT for 2 years now and it still looks new, i don't even think about it, i just ride. The MC tire was looked at very close before any ride to see if any cords were showing  Lips Sealed

I hope you guys with long life CT's are still pulling the rear end apart on a regular basis to make sure everything is greased up.

If not look forward to spline wear and rust.
