8500 miles and I need a new rear tire. Bald down the center. Frustrating because tire pressure and oil level are the two things I try to stay on top of. I have been running 2lbs over because I like the ride. must have overfilled at some time and didn't notice. Just a word to all check tire pressure can be expensive not to. :banghead:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Ha a new Kumho 22550R15 installed today
I had almost 8600 miles on the oem and was told I had maybe another 1000 miles left, but with a 750 mile round trip to Spyderfest coming up diecided to go ahead and replace it. I was already at the shop and had the tire with me, so went ahead. I didn't notice an difference in handling on the 30+ mile return trip. Louis Power Sports in Greenville, TX put it on for me, I can't say enough good things about these guys, it's where I bought my RTS and they hey have done all my service work.:clap:

Speeds over 50-60 mph will increase rear tire center wear due to ballooning. Different tire pressures may aggravate this problem...especially low tire pressures from what I have seen. Lots of straight roads also seem to wear the center more.....or at least wear the sides less.

I note you have a 2013 RT. Hopefully that is not going to be the pattern for rear tires on 2013 and 2014's. I am used to getting between 13K and 15K on the rear tires. I sure don't want to get into the mode where I have to replace rear tires twice a year. :yikes:

I also have noticed that the rear tire wears extremely fast on my 2013 RT. I ordered a new Kumho at 7500 but haven't put it on yet. I plan on using balance beads (worked well on my Royal Star Venture). What tire pressure is recommended for the pc tire...same as OEM or different?
Good question. I was just going to use manufactures recommendation but on a :f_spider: it may be different. :hun:

I mentioned this before, I got 17K on my stock tire then changed to the Kumo, it wore like iron but hydroplaned way too easy. I live in the great northwest so wet road performance is paramount.

I'm going to watch close and see how the beta testers do with theirs. It should be mid summer before I hit 8,000 miles. :roflblack:

I ran a Falken for 8,000 miles.
It was a very comfortable tire...UNTIL it got worn down close to the wear bars... then it became a hydroplaning disaster! :shocked:
Use it; but replace it quickly when it starts "talking to you", in the wet! :yikes:

Depending on conditions, 8500 miles on the stock Kenda tire is not too bad. I got 9500 miles on my original rear tire and 7500 on the second one although it wasn't completely worn out when I changed it. Changed to a Kumho and got over 14,000 on the first one, working on a second. Remember that the original Kenda is technically a motorcycle tire with softer compound and a more flexible sidewall than a car tire. Lots of GoldWing and BMW riders would be happy to get 8500 miles on a rear tire. I know I would have on my BMW.
