Original tire worn out at 2700 miles? Wow

I was surprised myself.. wait till you see it.. unless I am really getting forgetful, my fronts always gave out first.. I was keeping an eye on my front, when I realized my rear tire was done..

In regards to Dunlop, my '18 (2019) mule has 12000 kms on the rear and it is toast and is already cracking - front tire too!

Chuck: What's on the rear now - another PR-3 or a PR-4?

G.O... maybe I will try a pr-4, if they are the same size as the pr-3's I have been using.. I heard something about the 4's getting better mileage..

looks like the pr-4's only come in 17in. rears.. I will have to stay with the pr-3's .. ahh well ..

Thanks. It would be interesting to know how wide that strip is. Although I realized looking at my bike just now that the rim well can be measured from the outside too.

Chuck,

I just fitted a set of Avon Spirit ST II's front and rear and I can say so far that they have been a very strong (currently produced) replacement fort he Michelin PR3/4. I don't know how long you've got but this time next year i'll have about 14k on the rear and I will be able to give a strong assessment of just how good they are in the long haul. First impressions are that they're fantastic though.
