Unfortunately,. my left front pad was wore out at 20k. This upgrade was in response to the heavy wear on the left pad. I also replaced the front wheel bearings with the upgraded version of All Balls aftermarket bearings.
I do love the quote about the first guy who invented the wheel was an idiot and the second guy being a genius. Posting new information on the forum allows others to see what is possible and is not intended for all those who read the post to make a similar choice. 40 years of Riding experience and a garage full of pieces and parts that did not work out has taught me that not every idea that we come up with is a good one. When I replace the front tire next month I will inspect the pads and rotors and post my findings.
Ride safe

IMHO the Ax is the superior of the two tires. It's 1/4" narrower than the OEM Stone, wears like iron and is a great "corner carver". Dollar for dollar if your looking for a great alternative/replacement for the OEM tire the Ax will fit the bill!
Regarding the Lehigh Vally, I routinely get down to Nazareth, Bethlehem and Hellertown! RT 412, 940 and old 611 along the Delaware River provides for some great riding and fantastic scenery. Ever get to Penn's Peak? Having a cousin in New Hope, not far from Washington's Crossing, is another great destination
I got 20K + miles out of the OEM... time will tell on the AX...currently running 41# .... now looking at the Pirelli Snow Control for the rear !
