[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1149691, member: 21394"] I have taken off what seemed to be decent rubber in anticipation of a longer trip. This Spring, I put one of those PR2 takeoffs on thinking it might see me halfway through the summer. That rear tire was worn smooth nearly edge to edge at the SEOR and I nursed it home. Conclusion? I don't think that last 40% of tire tread is worth much in either handling or wear. Tires go away faster than you think at the end of life, and with a new one costing $124 delivered (T30), the cost of using that takeoff is pretty high since I don't have a tire machine. I have a front PR2 with decent tread, but I won't put it on because PR2s handle like ass in the last 30% of life, and the life is likely a lot less than it appears. Free to a good home. [/QUOTE]
