D-207 expected mileage

["Bird, Garry" <BIRD@xxxxxxx>]

My buddy "Foamy" reported back on the D-207's that he has on his 1200
Daytona.  Something to consider too is the fact that we live on the
prairies...flat, flat, flat and straight highways.  Lots of wear in the
centre of the tire and not so much on the edges. 

Here's what he had to say:

I know that the 207's are a better tire for my type of riding and give a
little more of an edge stability wise. If  I lose a little in overall
mileage, its a small price to pay. The other option is to slide my ass down
the road and pay lots for repairs......not too much of a decision in my
eyes.
I think that the mileage should be 10,000-12,000 kms....depends on how many
120' days  and the speed we ride at. I think that 12,000 kms out of the
207's should not be unreasonable.

see yea
