Yeah me too. Maybe I could lose a few pounds off the bike and me and put helium in the tires to lighten up the load!
Hey Colin, like you I'm running PR4GT's but I'm on set #5. I usually only get about 7500 on them but I commute through a twisty canyon road so I really don't expect more mileage than that. Something interesting happened on the last set and I thought I'd ask if anyone else experienced it. On the way home one morning I picked up a large screw in the rear tire and almost immediately it went flat. I always carry the Aerostich inflator kit so I plugged it and was home shortly there after. Took the tire off and went to the local repair shop and was told that they could not patch it because the screw was to close to the sidewall. The tires had just over 2000 on them and did not want to buy another so I asked them to put a tube in it, which they did. Now comes the interesting part...........I got almost 9000 on that set! I replaced them when the wear bars were gone and the rear was just starting to square off. So has anybody else ever had this or a similar experience?
