Although I must say most people on this forum reported getting more than 2500 miles out of them.
Ferret is correct. It seems the front tire from the factory is a "good enough" item with not much tread. Mine was toast by 3000 miles and wouldn't pass the mandatory vehicle inspection we have here. I was shocked at the short life until I learned about the so-so factory tire here on the forum.

My original CB1100 OEM BT54s had over 17000 kms and were still going strong. However, the rear was definitely stronger looking than the front - which is absolutely unusual.

Mr. Gold, reading that (17000km), I'm simply amazed. You must have waaay better roads up there than we do here in southern California!
