| You said the tire had 6,000 miles on it. How many more miles did you think you were going to get out of the tire? I had to put a new front tire on last fall while over in Arkansas for the BB&BBQ. I left the house thinking I had plenty of miles left on it. After 2 days of hitting the twistes, I had to have a new tire on in order to finish the week end. The pisser was that I had a new Avon waiting to be put on at the house. The only tire I could find was a Metz. So how many miles can be expected to get out of a front tire? | | | |

Maybe this incident will save me from myself.  | | | |

| Robert,
might as well put a CT on the back end while you're at it. | | | |
