If tread life is 8K or a lot less how much do they cost?

Half a bike tire?

Haven't bought a rear motorcycle specific tire in so long I don't even know what they cost.
What are you payin'?
(I can't even remember the OEM size.)
I got $199.51 in the set, to my door.
Worth every penny the way Sugar & I ride.
(She's fearless, it's gotta stick, regardless of cost!)
IMHO, only way to improve on the grip, is track tires cooldude
(& I'd still trust my DarkSides more!)
