Tires

Well, I wanted everyone to know that the front tire on my Valkyre has 21,000
miles and still going. This is mostly 2 up and with the bike packed with
shit.

 

Sounds like a record to me. But, I guess long highway
trips are much less wearing than city stop-n-go riding.

What kind of tire?

 

I would say it is mostly even miles city and trips. I use Avons and I run 44
front and 46 rear. This is higher than recommended but works for me. The
Dunlops would only get 7 or 8 thousand.

 

============very good. I believe that the front tire has always
lasted twice the miles of the rear one, is my experience. So if my
back'un, survives for 8,000 miles, I expect the front'un, to last
atleast 16,000 miles....atleast. ==thanks for the report. =bjay=
