    Well, I made it!

    After 11,200 miles on the original 'stones' my tires have half the tread of new ones! I covered the western 15 states and stayed off the interstate roads. Since I got the F6B for my
    65th birthday I really enjoyed the many National Parks. They are free for us older riders! Badlands, Mt. Evans and Echo Lake, Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Monument Valley, Hoover Dam, Mohave Desert, Nixon and Reagan museums, Hiway one, Golden Gate bridge, Avenue of the Giants, Crater Lake, Columbia River Road, water falls, Yellowstone, Big Horns.
    Never got rained on! Amazing. Friendly folks in all states! Col 3:17

    How do you know when the tires are worn out?

    If you are into the "wear bars" or have excessive cupping its time for new skins!

    I checked my tire pressure dilligently

    Attachment 19911 This is my rear tire with 7274 miles on it which is just about to the wear bars on the tire. I think it really depends on how frisky your right wrist is as my rear tire probably would have made 7500 at best but I change it out cause it was flat in the center of the tread and I didn't like the look. Running 40 in the front and 41 in the rear.

    I got 13,500 out of my stock tires. I was very happy with them. I replaced them in kind.

    I swear these guys ride like old women

    7200 miles my rear OEM Bridgestone was finished right to the wear bars. So it really depends on how you ride your bike as to how long the rear tire lasts. Now the front one I did get 12700 miles out of so the rear one was somehow related to a right wrist problem I seem to have.
