Well, after riding the Smokeys for a week, my rear tire is down past the wear bars in the center. Only got ~7k miles out of this one, over 12k on the first one :dontknow:.

I just ordered the Toyo T1R that Lamonster has on his online for $143.50 delivered and some more Ride-On. About the same price as the factory tire for a true performance tire.

I'll keep ya posted on my impressions when I get it installed.

What makes this tire a 'true performance tire' ?
What makes the OEM tire not a 'true performance tire' ???

How will this tire perform better?


Are you basing 'performance' on how long the tire lasts?
I would think a 'true performance' tire wouldn't last as long--- softer rubber wears quicker--- but grips better.:dontknow:

I get around 7-8K out of an OEM rear tire.
