R3T Tire Replacement

[GPMAZ]

I have an altimax on the rear with 6000 miles on it and it still looks new, I have an avon on the front. Both were put on at the same time.

Thanks, but my car doesn't need tires.

Just kidding, but there's some new tricks I'm just too old to try.

CanberraR3 brought up the Standard/Classic/Roadster applications in a manner that an intellectually challenged child can understand. Now, notwithstanding that that framing might be over the head of a distinct minority here, why concern ourselves with such "casual readers'" shortcomings? Hey, it's not like we haven't a history of errant, randomized and/or directionless threads here before, is it. Hans?

I was having a laugh ya silly bugger as this was one of many Threads started about a Touring issue and then you get some of us silly buggers that go and get it a tad of topic GPMAZ saw thru it I just thought it funny as there was a couple of guys getting confused So I thought I would throw a line in and I caught myself a big fish.... yep you
Others probally had a good laught as I am as guilty as anyone here for getting "Off Topic" even in my Own Threads Oh and I used the term "casual reader" instead of "Newbie Reader" as I was not wanting to Offend anyone

I would imagine the case for a lower profile front tyre would be pretty much the same regardless of bike model. Entirely appropriate to bring it up on a thread about bike tyres, even on the Touring forum. Ditto with the general notion of mixing brands.

The off topic comments where the ones about car tyres. I'm at a complete loss as to why anyone would want to brag about doing something stupid like that, but that's me. Ha ha. Just having a laugh.

I understand, I felt just like you until I tried it. Even rode the dragon on it and couldn't tell the difference.

I'm needing a front. Would like to go with Bridgestone if it is worth it. I have 10k on my Rear Bridgestone Potenza Runflat and still looks new. Love it. Running 40PSI and never slips in hard acceleration even in twisties. I use to build tires. If you are darkside. Go Runflat or don't go. Side wall thickness is the difference.

Harry,

Did you try the Bridgestones? if so how to they compare to Avons?

Haven't gotten around to replacing them yet. Was riding the KLR for awhile until I broke a couple of ribs on the **** thing (well technically, off the **** thing). I don't ride a lot in the middle of summer but I'll replace them before a trip to the Salt Flats in October.
