Jeremy, what kind of tires are you running to put sooo....much faith in?

I was running PR2's front and rear, but I am using a PR2 on the front and a Shinko Raven on the rear currently.  I actually like the Raven on the rear and will probably run this combo again.  I have never felt that I have exceeded my tires capabilities.

Have you gone through a Raven yet, just wondering what mileage you got out of the rear.  I am estimating only 3,400 miles out of the one I have on there now.  >:(

I didn't write down my exact mileage when I put it on, but I am at approximately 3700 miles.  I currently have about 2 mm down the center and 3-4 on the sides from all my commuting and lack of twisty road running.  I am shooting for another 1000 miles out of them, as long as I can spend the majority of the time leaning instead of slabbing it.

I will say that the wear on the Raven is much more uniform that with my PR2.  The left and right sides are nearly identical.  The PR2 showed a huge difference between the right and left side.

  • The C14 is vastly overrated.

by removing the feeler, you can improve mpg's by at least 15%.
