not anutter tire thread!

[quasi]

although the kendas on the front of my 2012 rts still have a lot of tread after right on 12,000 miles. (which ain't many miles for a 12). I looked at the date they were made, 4811. this gives me justification to order me some new slippers.

I would usually just keep an eye on the rubber for checking and cracking...
But fresh rubber is never a bad thing! :thumbup:

If you want new tires any excuse will do. You know we'll back you up

Old tires

Old rubber is hard rubber, with less traction.

Well...

It's a choice although the date of manufacture is one thing but when it went into use and how it was used is a more important point. If they were trying to sell you the tires now never used I would run. But if they went into use and regularly used I would be fine with them till they showed the wear marks. I got 33,000 miles on my front kendas and mine was a 2012 so probably a similar manufacturing date. We do ryde all year long so no storage time. Still your choice to keep going or get new slippers....:thumbup:

I must be an oddball. I read all General and RT threads, Search my questions/concerns and Bookmark all the "How To" and YouTube Spyder sites for reference.

Did someone call the thread police again? :roflblack::roflblack:

It appears there is a mission afoot.
