Well it looks like the rear tire has about 1000 miles left on it.    That won't last long!

I've been getting about 7k miles on rear tires and was wondering if anyone any suggestions for a longer lasting tire.   Since I do ALOT of touring the Micheline Powers Roads and the Metzler Z6's I ran before lasted to 7K which isn't bad.   But I'm wearing them out right down the middle.   I did notice my chicken strip was smaller on the Micheline's and that made sense to me cuz I felt more confident in the turns with them than I did with the z6's.  Just never could get used to the flat shape of the z6's.

 

Mike (Allen) what did you run on your VFR?   I know you did ALOT of touring on it.  What kind of milage did you get on your tires?   Any suggestions?

 

I have thought of moving to a more touring oriented tire, but an a little hesitant to do that cuz I do still like to wick it up through the turns sometimes and am concerned with loosing too much grip.
