    I went with the Pirelli

    I thought it was time to change out my tire. Since I couldn't get another Michelin, I went with the Pirelli.

    I'm running 40psi in my Michelin CT but getting more center wear than I expected with 15,000. But, I think I'll get 30,000 out of the tire.

    40K, probably not. Maybe could have gotten closer to 30K. I needed to change it out because I was going on another cross country trip to Virginia. Which this trip ended up being 6K miles, so I'm glad I changed it out.
