Confessions from the Darkside - UPDATE

Davidk,

My first Michelin Primacy Alpin I ran at 41 psi and it only lasted 27,850 miles. The sides had good tread but the center was down to the wear bars. I now have 6,000 miles my second Alpin and running 32psi the wear is even across the tire.

I'm very pleased with the performance and handling. I picked up a screw on a trip last year and it seemed to be a good bit harder to get a plug into this tire.

Happy riding on your Alpin.

Only 27,850. Boy , we are suffering now. Four times the mileage for the same money. Not bad.

I'm surprised at the low miles you get on these car tires. I got 24k on my Dunlop 3 MC tires, front and rear. I was expecting to hear numbers in the area of 50k miles for the car tires.
