Re: [ST] Time for my first rear tyre

["Richard D'Amours" <rdamours@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got about 13000 km's from my rear BT57...about 8100 miles...with a wee bit
of cord showing.  Lit them up a couple of times toward the end so that would
account for some mileage loss.  A 3000 km trip around Alberta and British
Columbia but mostly city driving.

Bolted on some 190 BT020's...so far so good.  They look good with the fat
tire but it requires a bit more effort to start a turn.  I would have
ordered the Azaro AV45/46's but they were all out and I needed tires like
now.
