I dont corner like a lot of you, but i was getting close to 9500 mi out of my 31’s. And, for less money. Loved the avon spirits too!

Would you mind sharing the contact info? I'd like to ask what size GT tires they recommend for 1100s.

I just went to their website and used the contact form.

they don't make GT in the stock st1100 sizes non abs. 120/70-18 comes in the GT and works just fine in the front. Gt and non gt have the same load rating,

What's the general consensus on front mileage on an ST13? 2-1 to rear? Picked up my ST13 with T32 already on it, they have about 3500 miles and I have a 3500 mile trip coming up in a week that I'm considering taking the ST.

Figure I need to swap the rear, but the front? Hmmm thinking it'll go the distance.....? I swap my own tires with my own machine but still hate taking off good rubber as much as I hate putting back on old rubber for a short period of use.

Opinions?

I’m running the T32 GT series tires front and rear. 8K miles and the rear needs replaced but the front looks good. I ride back roads 60-70 mph and never have a passenger. The T32 wears better than Pirellis or Dunlops on my bike the way I ride. I’m pleased with them.

Thanks appreciate the insight.

Thanks. I have a set of Shinkos waiting to go on, but the point is the life of the tires already on the bike.....

Here’s some pictures of my shinko with 700 miles, they did warranty the tire by sending me a new tire but it will never be on my bike

I saw that but it looks to me like you ran over something , there are a couple of small cuts in the tire all in the same area. Tires are made of rubber and synthetic rubber blended. Old tires are susceptible to cracking, old tires tend to loose flexibility. That's why I asked for a pic of the production date. In another post you stated the tire had 500 miles , IMO. Glad you got the tire covered.
