Tires

[gcarper_imp]

I'm almost at 8500 miles on my original Bridgestones. I'm starting to get weary of the front tire, but the rear looks to still be in really good shape. I find that confusing because every bike I've had has worn out the front tire first, but not this one.

You must be on the brakes a lot if the front tire goes first. Only time I had that happen was a couple of years ago when I camped out at Telico Plains TN and had to ride the Cherohayla Skyway to get anywhere. That road is sweet, long sweepers along the tops of the moutains. We were pushing hard during our 3 days there and the sides of my front tire was completely bald. Took it easy going home!!
