How do you get 17k miles out of a rear tire on ANY bike??!!
I've never hit 10k miles my whole life of riding. MAYBE once on a front tire.
Like I said, I was commuting 115 miles a day, primarily on the freeway. It was a lot a driving between 70 and 75 mph for about an hour at a stretch.
OK, I was not quite to 17,000. It's been a while, but I did make 14,636.
Here is my original post about it with some pictures of the tire. I probably could have gone a bit further, but I'm not one to push my luck.
