Padden is my hero
Just got mine today. Probably won't put them on for another 1K miles though.
32,000 miles on a front? Have you checked your front end to make sure it's touching the ground when you ride? 4:... The PR2 front tire that it replace was 15 months and 32,000 miles old and still had a few miles left in it. ....
I bet that I could kill them in less then 7000 miles!I'm curious to how they will hold up on our heavier bikes.[-][/-]
I've got about 7500 miles on my PR3s (on a Connie) and they look like they have a long way to go, like maybe 1/2...Which is already farther than anything I have had before. (023's OEM and Storm 2 Ultras).
I have got very mixed roads, 6000 miles on my summer trip, some slab, some back roads, some extreme twisties, some rain, and I REALLY like these tires. I'll update this as the mileage rolls along....
Concours 1400 OEM was the Bridgestone 021 - not the 023.023's are OEM on the Connie. I got the bike with 4400 miles on it, rode home 2000 miles and was scared to death the last 500...On the FRONT tire...It really went away fast and ugly.
That said, it seems Mamma Kawi bought a bad batch for the original run. I understand the 09's and up did much better...
My 023's have 11k on them.Concours 1400 OEM was the Bridgestone 021 - not the 023.
No one seemed to like the 021 which was BS first dual compound sport touring effort. Some folks in here tried them on ST1300s and got the same results as Connie pilots. The 023's are a totally different tire - it wears symmetrically with good feedback and handling. It just does not deliver the mileage.
Maybe I should have said "they just don't deliver the mileage Pilot Roads tend to give".My 023's have 11k on them.
