I have about 1000 miles on my first car tire. A Hankook V12. So far so good. Traction was questionable the first couple hundred miles until scrubbed in. I?ve installed 3 car tires now for friends and family with my NoMar tire changer.
On a day trip to Allegany State Park I was surprised how many people had to look and talk were ever we stopped. We even had a motorcycle shop owner in Springville NY come out and talk to us because he saw the tires on our bikes. How could he have even seen the tires as we rode by his shop?
I installed the car tire because otherwise I would have been changing my rear tire twice this year. With my first two rear tires, a Bridgestone BT20 and a Michelin PR2, I actually wore the sides balled before the middle.
Our question is how will the tire wear. Are we going to have cords showing on the edges with lots of tread left in the middle? How can we gauge when the tire will have to be changed. We don?t want to be thousands of miles from home and in need of a new rear car tire.
