Rear CT at 15.5K

My stocker was dead at 7,000, and was replaced at 9,000. I can't understand how anyone gets 13,000. I don't show off at all, as most of my riding is alone.... Then i don't really care to be showing off in the first place.

Well there you go Mac, I was showing off and still got 8k on my OE. Look at all that fun you missed. ;)
Are we all talking MILES here? I've never heard of a Bridgestone past 10,000. wow. Congratulations guys.

Yes the compounds used to pave the roads make a world of difference. When I was in south FL 5000 miles was the max out of the Dunlop mt, in Nc I got about 8500 miles out of the same tire. But the Federal ct has 6500 miles on it and still looks like new.
