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!
Based on many of your other California colleagues, that could be right and despite the extreme seasons our roads up here are exposed to.
