Changed the front tire today. Got 16,162 miles on the 1st tire. Stayed with the "Stone" on the front. Darkside on rear. Looked at the "front tire thread" on this great Web Site, and completed the job myself. Was not difficult, or time consuming. I had previously ordered the tire, and was just waiting for the right time to change. The "thread" tells all the tools required, and the torques needed. Test ride after of 50 miles, to get the tire scrubbed up. All good!
