Re: [ST] brake lever adjust - tire reply



When I bought my 99 ST used it had 11k on the clock and the tires
(BT020's) were starting to show some squaring off and some cupping
up front, not sure what the milage on them was but guessing around
5k. When I replaced 'em with another set of BT020's, I started running 38
in the front and 40 in the rear after hearing some discussion on this
re: preventing cupping and squaring and now with 24k on the clock (9k on
these tires) they still look pretty good.  

FWIW, HIH, YMMV, SDA, yada yada yada
