howdy folks,
i am doing an experiment. OEM tires, the IRC's have given me 6,000 miles, i could probably get 8,000 if i wanted to be "adventerous" and run until bald.
i am going to try the Bridgestone Spitfire S11's.
if they give me 6,000 miles i will be happy. $80 rear, $60 front. (with my ama discount from bikebandit)
rear tires have a DEEP tread, and a nice solid wear spot/rubber in the middle of the tire.
my Brother had/has these tires on his bike and they are acceptable to me for cornering and straight line performance.
if they are bad tires, i will surely let you guys know.
i have no idea why everyone is against Bridgestone tires/tyres.
my sport-tourer has 4,000 miles on bridgestone BT-45's on it, and it will probably get 5-6,000 rear and 7-8,000 miles front.
we will let you know how the tires play out.
peace, crank
