The Dark Side Car Tires on your Nomad?

[ray]

I have several friends who are tired of replacing tires every 7 to 10,000 kilometers That is 2,703 to 3861 miles. My plans this year are to qualify for the Iron Butt run in 2010. It is 11,000 miles in 11 days 28,488 kilometers. Tires is becoming a real concern of mine. I need distance and safety, but car tires here in Canada seem to be the only way to get distance. Of the riders I know with them I have seen no problems as long as they stay with the X rated tires. Would really appreciate the input of this membership. I have been a biker 42 years, back in the day we had no choice what we had for tires but then we never had these roads speeds or powerful machines.. Your thoughts please!
