I think another 1000 miles can be had if you stick to only making right hand turns. 43483757_2160338474000193_1261193433955958784_n.jpg

There has to be a story? That just looks wrong.

Aye Carumba!
I was going to brag about how I've got 13,000 miles on my 2nd 'Stone out back ... still not quite down to the wear bar, but very, very close. (I have new one in the garage, ready to install as soon as the deer start moving and the roads become unrideable)
Former Ride:
2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
Latest Addition:
2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode
2019 Miles:
7,900 as of 10/6
How many kilometres or miles you have on that tire, Lloyd? I had a rear tire (Stone) that went from looking like it still had decent life at about 19,000 km (12,000 miles) to being thread bare like yours in another 1,000 km (600 miles). Was riding in extreme heat in Hell's Canyon (eastern Oregon). The heat and hard riding in canyon just ate it up. Won't be pushing my current Stones past 19,000 km/12,000 miles on a road trip again.

My life is too valuable to save a few bucks by putting those extra miles on tires. Mine get changed when they hit the wear bars. JMHO. To each their own!

I agree. I change tires just before the wear bars. Especially here in Florida when the summer rains come down.
Not worth the risk. IMO
Just ordered some 'Stones from DK.

I used to ride them into the fiber but now older and also replace as soon or even before the wear indicators show.
