UMMMMM.... Why are some getting 8K out of a tire and some getting 20K out of a tire ...when both swear that they keep the tires at 40 psi..... I have 16.5 on the front, and can go another 3K or so, and got 15 out of the back...could have gone father but had a Alpine and wanted it on the bike!!!
Here is my thought..... what are the ages of the tires on our bikes????? Is Honda putting some NEW and some OLD tires on our bike to get RID of them?????
My front shows 49/12= 49 week of 2012

Going dark side with the spare wheel. Talked to several at the rally and fellow board member KJ this morning about it. This is getting weird .....I'm kinda excited to try it.
Go Michelin Alpine, Run Flat!!! 32psi on the flats and 36psi in the twistys...on this last trip I did go up to 36 psi and the bike did great ...

Ordered today!!Originally Posted by Steve 0080
I just put my G-Max on yesterday. Took a 1 hour ride yesterday evening. Its a little different. I haven't played with the pressure yet. Takes a little more body English in the corners. Not a lot , just a little. Rides better. Smoother. More stable at slow speeds , ie. coming up to a stop. I like it. Gonna try it two up this weekend. Got about 350 miles planned. I like the looks of that fat tire out back. Still corners great. Not much negative to say , lots of positives. If it works out I will probably try the Michelin later on. I own a tire store so its a little easier for me to try things. No body tells me I can't put a CT on a MC wheel. I'll let you know how the ride goes 2 up.
By the way thanks to Bob109 for some information and encouragement. Been riding MC's for 45 years and I was a little hesitant on the CT. But Being in the business it made sense to me, I've always thought that MC tire manufacturers stick it to us. I sell a lot of great CT's in my shop. In some aspects MC tires leave a lot to be desired. I sometimes think they don't try too hard and when they do it costs me $300. I got the G-Max for under $80. Not a very expensive experiment. I'm tickled shytless so far.
For those of us not in the tire biz, please explain G-max. Thanks
General G-Max 195/55-16 car tire. Wasn't trying to be a know it all. If you read the forums then I figured you would know it. "The Biz" don't have anything to do with it.
The attached thread will give you some good info on the General G-Max. I just turned 20K miles on mine and anticipate 23/24K miles of wear before I replace it with the identical tire. So good was the Max's performance, I bought 4 spares. Sold one to my brother-in-law who has yet to mount it. I, personally, will never have a MT on the rear of my 6. IMHO a good "directional radial car tire" is the only to fly
