    Since I've only had my F6b a couple weeks, can you disclose how many miles were on your worn out set and how much tread was left, if any? Just trying to get an idea if there's any pros or cons of staying with Bridgestones.

    Thanks!

    70 series rear tire ...

    I've been running a 70 series Avon Cobrasw on the back end of my Wing for about 30K ... 3 sets of tires at 10K each.

    I like them. They correct the speedo error according to my GPS. And, give me more lean in the corners without scrubbing my foot/pegs. Changes the ride to a more cushy feeling without loss of aggression, IMO.

    Me too. 2nd set of Bridgestones and new brakes all the way around.
    Getting ready for Franklin.
    Original tires lasted little over 14000, could have gone more, the set Of Bridgstones I'm replacing have little over 18000
    with some time let on them, but want new rubber for the 2000 mile trip.
