Tire Wear

[syclemom]

Been missing from here for a while due to prolonged family illness and death, have read a lot of complaints on tire wear. My wife has the first 2010 RTs sold in Texas, it is now at 65000mi. we changed tires immediately to 175/65-14 and 215/60-15 General Altimax rt , 22 psi. front and 17psi rear , she rides 1 up ,2 up would prob. go to 21psi. rear, EXCELLENT in rain .The current rear tire has 25000mi. many miles left first had approx. 31000 changed before for a long trip. She has never wanted for shocks, and does ride aggressively , these tires have so much better sidewall stability I think a lot of people have changed shocks trying to fix a tire issue,have '0" issues in 50,000+ miles with tire size change , the rear actually made speedometer more accurate. This bike has been from S.E. Texas to every Ocean including the Arctic Ocean and would change nothing although the new gas mileage is tempting,
