So i need to ride in corners harder and more, umm ok. I ride my bike to the lake (flat) to work no corners. I just like my rocket why do I need to ride any different? I have thought about a lighter weight easy to manage bike that will be really good on gas and tires but not yet. As I said before I have tried expensive tires that were supposed to last a long time and they dont. Your tires on your rocket last 8-10k thats great happy for you. Those are 240's. Touring is 180 not that it makes a difference.

Yours are wearing in the middle then whereas mine wear out on the edges. You must also like acceleration (why else own a Rocket?) and guessing you might downshift a lot too.

The best tire prices I've found are from Rocky Mountain ATV. Free shipping and I usually get them within 3 days.
