Final Full Bore tires update
Written by wynndungey on 3/10/2012 at 05:58 am

I was getting 15,000 on the dunlops front and rear. The rear Metzlers, more
like 10,000. That was on my 1989 PC800. Will be interesting to see if that
continues on my new to me 1990.

that cost considerably more. That works out to 1.4 cents per mile if that
matters.

Paid $102 for the tire, and $20 for mounting and balancing. So far I am very
happy that I made the change. I will see how it does on some twisties this
weekend.
