At 14219 miles on this tire it is just about done AND i have zero complaints and zero bad things to say about this tire. :coolsmiley: Mounted it with the balance beads kept it between 42-44 P S I and it never gave me an uncomfortable feeling. ;) As an example i got caught in a real toad drowner of a rain storm for about 85-90 miles and that front tire in the rain NEVER gave me cause for concern. The road i used was U S 160 from Neelyville Mo to West Plains Mo. Has some nice twistys in it. ;D I just got done with my tire depth gauge and the center is at 1 yes one M M. As in millimeter. That Shinko S E 890 i just bought will have something to live up to. :cooldude: Soon as i get some good miles on the Shinko i'll report on it. :) RIDE SAFE.

I reckon I'll always have a Metz front (Darkside rear). They don't last
millions of miles like some, but they'll stick in all kinds of weather. I
always said my front Metz sicks better on a wet road than my first,
and last, Dunlop E3 did on a dry road. YMMV
