[QUOTE="Colin24, post: 1088253, member: 438"] Just as an update on the tires. Took Debbie on vacation for a week. Two up towing a fully loaded trailer. Dont have the exact numbers, but probably another 1200 miles on the tires, So to sum up for the PR3's that are still on the FJR: - 9400 miles for the IBR - 800 miles towing the trailer to and from the start - 1200+ miles touring two-up plus a fully loaded trailer And the tires still have more life left in them! They are worn and getting cupped on the shoulders of the tire, but all the groves in the middle are still present and they are still quite usable. Its a Bushtec Turbo+2 model. I've had it for about 8 years or so and its been fantastic. The company is located in north eastern Tennessee and is very good to deal with. The trailer is the best handling trailer I have ever towed behind a bike. Bought it for the long 3week trips my Dad and I take so we can bring camping gear. We camp to save a few bucks, but we are not into the hardcore roughing it crowd. But once Debbie came along it has proven handy for two-up with the GF. Also found I am using it quite often when I need to pick something larger up around town but dont want to take the car. - Colin [/QUOTE]
