[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1250145, member: 3828"] Yeah... no. Being hostage to a dealership to do the mounting on the tires to begin with, and then again for the replacement is a total deal breaker. Plus the warranty is pro-rated, so if you got anything it would be a percentage of the replacement tire, but not the labor of course. It's far cheaper to just keep buying tires and slapping them on myself. I'm also guessing that any tire that could actually deliver 15k miles on the rear of an FJR would have to be a very hard compound all over (not just the center). On BT023GT and PR2's I never wear out the center, but the sides are gone in ~ 9k miles from normal mixed 2-up, non-hoon riding. Just noticed this: What do people get on the regular storms? I doubt that adding 20% will put you at 15k miles. [/QUOTE]
