Rick, that's unreal wearing that tire out that quick, but then when I
took a trip down to Dillard and The Gap, I noticed how incredibly abrasive
the roads are down there, feathering the tires of even this
non-knee-dragging rider.  Still though, that seems to be accellerated
wear.  

I bought my '99 used, it had BT-020's on it already but don't know how
many miles they had been on - guessing 8-10k.  I installed a new set of
020's at 15k, and they now have 9.6k on 'em and I'm still guessing there's
another 1000 or so left in 'em unless I get south again!  

I used to have D205's on the Trophy3 and got about 10k/ea out of 2 sets of
those.  We've put 020's on The Boss's viffer, and I'm looking to buy a new
pair of 020's for the ST now (good prices anyone?).  I've been very happy
with the 020's needless to say.

FWIW, HIH, YMMV (will vary in your case!)
