Not quite 17K miles on the OEM Stone and its days are over. Kept the tire inflated to 40PSI to avoid cupping and produce reasonable thread/tread wear and that has appeared to work reasonably well. I'll be "Double Dark Side Riding" with the installation of a new Bridgestone Battlax B-45 Rear Cycle Tire. Currently running a General G-Max on the rear and very comfortable with its handling/performance so the next step is the B-45 for the front. The tire will be mounted with rotation indicator same as the OEM Stone. Some folks use the reverse rotation mounting on Trikes. There's enough feedback from users that either rotation direction will produce good results.
Some pics of the OEM Stone in addition to the sophisticated dampening hardware of the 6's front suspension!
