When the tire was mounted last week before I left for Americade it was filled to 40lbs

This morning, now that I am home and the ride-on finally arrived in the mail, I let the air out to install the 12oz of ride-on and put in 41lbs of pressure with my little air compressor.

I know many have used this tire with good results but am curious what pressures did you run in the tire and how long did it last before you got down to the wear bars or experienced cupping

I am diggin this tire, but then again any new tire feels better than the old one

I really liked the tire and ran around 40 to 42 lbs. Tire only lasted a little over 7000 miles. If the tire would have made 10000 I would be running them. Too much money and not enough miles. The roads down here are hard on any tires. A lot of gray rock slag in our blacktops.

Ain't that the truth.  Of course it doesn't take long to wear off mold release on chip and tar roads either.

Didn't last as long as a Dunlop, lasted longer than a Metz.  About average I'd say.  Did ride well, though. 40 psi for me.   Cool hoser

FWIW

I have one of these on my 09 V Max (came stock with it.)

Great handling in the twisties, good ride, ran mine at 42 PSI.

Got a little over 5k on it, and it's almost worn out, maybe 6k if I'm lucky.
Might go to Metz 880's next, if not, I'll stick with it. It's a good tire.  cooldude
