[QUOTE="Bruce Ente, post: 1433926, member: 92606"] I must say I'm always a bit shocked to hear about tires wearing out at 5,000-7,000 miles. I'm about to mount a fourth set of Dunlop Roadsmart 3's because the first three sets went 17,000-18,000 happy miles with even wear, good traction wet or dry, confident handling, etc. I don't baby my 2005 Gen. 1, but I am a moderate rider who tours cross-country every summer fully loaded with camping gear. On the tires about to be replaced, the front wear indicators emerged at 17,500 miles and the rear wear indicators at 22,500 miles -- unbelievable! Summer of 2019 I replaced the tires mid-tour in Albuquerque, NM, at Moto Authority, an independent shop that offered a great price and equally excellent service. I ordered the tires a week ahead and scheduled the installation for the day I arrived in Albuquerque. Did the same thing in Billings, MT, in 2014. Not a problem if you plan ahead... [/QUOTE]
