I left SE Texas on June 22. I rode up thru Eastern Oklahoma, to Ft. Smith, AR, to I-49 up thru Missouri. I rode thru Iowa from I-35 on Hwy 20 to Dubuque, Iowa in a very heavy thunderstorm. I made it to Janesville, WI. 3 days and 1250 miles. I have 10000 on my F6B. I have installed two new Avon Cobra tires prior to leaving Texas. They handled extremely well in the heavy rain. On my way back to Texas, I'll go through Illinois, to Springfield, Missouri. I'll pick up Hwy 7 in Harrison, Arkansas.
Doug, how many miles were on your OEM Bridgestone tires when you made the change to the Avons ??????
I've got over 10k on my bike now, and the tires are still quite good.
I had a little over 9k miles. I didn't think they would last the trip. I took good care of them checking tire pressure. That was never an issue. Maybe once every week and a half I had to put a pound in. Maybe the SE TEXAS heat and roads wore them out.:shock:Quote:
