Looks like that Nomad made a lot of burn-outs and wheelies.

??? You can do that on a Nomad?!! I want pictures!!

I didn't do any wheelies or burnouts on that tire, I got 14,000 miles out of it though. I should have done a burnout just before I replaced it, but forgot. ;)

As an added bonus, I had my GPS on the bike today and checked my speed against the speedo reading. It improved the speedo error to within 2mph. At 40mph the GPS reads 38mph, at 70mph the GPS read 67-68mph. The new tire is five inches larger in circumference and about one inch larger in diameter.
