[QUOTE="El Gordo, post: 325847, member: 4263"] I have just over 6800 miles on my 021s and they will still go a ways. They are definitely showing wear, typical center with scuffed off sides on the front and starting to flatten in the center on the rear. I got 9400 miles out of the previous 020s, they still had tread left but the badly cupped front tire was getting unpredictable on tar snakes, so they came off. I'm not sure why I seem to get greater mileage than most? I ride lots of twisties (often in the company of sport bikes & love powering out of corners) but do few city miles. As far as the FORP factor, I have only ridden 020s & 021s on this bike, but didn't notice any significant difference (both in good condition) between the two types. The 021s seem to like air pressure, I have been running 40/42 riding one up. Somewhere in a forum, I read that the new Connie's factory spec is 42/42 for the 021s. I'm trying it now and tire seems to like it...seems a bit quieter and still sticks on corners. Seems to be a topic where every one's mileage varies? Other than the front tire being noisy, I like the 021s. [/QUOTE]
