"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
Update- I just did the first tire change since putting on the Exedra Max. I got a little over 5,000 miles on the tire, which for me is a record (based on my history with the Roadster). As usual the wear is mostly on the outside. I might have gotten a few hundred more out of it, if not for picking up a nail yesterday (good timing) and the fact that I often end up riding in the rain.
Not sure if it's because the bike is lighter than the Roadster, or because I put a lot of distance miles on it on a ride from NC to Washington D.C., New Jersey, and back that accounts for the increased wear over the Roadster with this tire.
What I can say is that the handling is definitely improved with the taller profile tire and I have always liked the performance of the Exedra Max. Needless to say I mounted another Max.
Above, the Exedra after 5,275 miles.
By contrast, the original Cobra (below) with just 3,150 miles racked up during the break-in period.
