    Yes we did

    Welcome!

    Some folks here have said start in the 32-34psi range... once I have my Michelin mounted; I plan to start at 32psi and watch for sidewall wear... which I don't think is going to happen.

    I've been reading but keeping quiet...and my only comment was about the F bomb. You must be irritable about your snakeskin boots and belt we haven't heard about yet!
    Here's my next set, waiting patiently.

    That is a pretty aggressive tread pattern. Is that a run flat ?

    I have over 20,000 combined miles on two different tires on two different motorcycles. Just did about 450 miles today on a dark side running about 75mph all day. No worries...
