Re: [ST] Replace Both Tires?



On most any bike I've owned, I've generally gotten twice the mileage out of the front vs. the rear. So the front gets replaced every other time I replace the rear. I've been getting about 5k on the rear with Dunlop 220s. The next change the front is also due so I may try a different brand.

Assuming that the front tire is ok, (still having about 6000 miles left) should I just replace the rear only or should I do them both?

With 6000 left on the front, and a new rear that will probably see 12,000 unless I get another flat, I'm thinking of changing them both out beacuse of the wear differential I'll have if I don't. Although some guys here at work seem to think I'll go through the new rear before the current (already 6000 mile worn) front wears out. Both are Pilot Roads, and I plan on sticking with that model rear again.
