Calling all with excedra max

[Ogremeister]

Has anyone burned through a Brdgestone Excedra Max 240/55 R16 rear tire yet?

How many miles did you get?

If you are still on your first one and you have over 7,000 miles on it,

then how many miles have you gotten so far?

How is it looking re: tread depth & flattening?

TIA

I don't recall seeing many, if anyone running that tire. I know it's the standard tire for one of the Suzuki 109s, but I don't think they have a front tire to match for the Rocket. I looked at them a bit before I bought my last set.

Mine's only been on for a few weeks. Lonsol's been running one on Blackie for a while, I think. Will be very interested in mileage because in every other way it's all very positive, especially grip in the wet and ride. And cheaper than both Metz and Avon. Love the look too. I have an Avon Cobra on the front and they seem to work well together.

I have been running one and have about 6000 and it still going strong... I think Lonnie runs one also he might have more than that. I will take a pic and post in the next few days..

Be careful with that tire. If I recall, my dealer told me that was the tire Triumph recalled a couple of years ago. Seems it was coming apart from the inside. You cannot see the damage until it is too late. I just put tires on my R3T and the dealer recommended I NOT use the Bridgestones. I did not want to spend the extra for Avon's so stuck with Metzler's.

This is not the same tire that was the touring stocker that we are talking about.
