Well after seeing the cords show thru, I trucked the bike an hour to get the back tire replaced and as it turns out the front was starting to scallop a bit, so I got the set done. I also noticed that one of the fork seals was leaking so the shop replaced the seals and oil on both sides. I picked up the bike yesterday and rode it home from the shop. It was super smooth, and felt great. I am already loving these tires compared to the Pilot Road 2 tires. I got 10,000 miles out of the last set, these Pilot Road 4 GT tires have a lot of tread.
