I finally swapped out the front tire with 64.5k on it. It was no where near worn out. I’m shelving the tire for local riding in the future. I have 2 rides approaching of 6k and 15k and I do not want to be concerned with tire wear.

I don't mean to be thick but I can't seem to get my head around this. You're saying 64k (miles?) on a motorcycle front tire? Is there a new IBA cert for riding a 50cc as one long wheelie?
If I get north of 5k out of a front I feel like I should rush out and buy a lottery ticket. If there's a secret to that kind of longevity I'd love to hear it.

Don't believe anything he claims - Tony rides like a pussy.

First thing- it’s not a front tire. This is actually a rear tire mounted on the front. No, I would not recommend using this tire for twisties (Even though I’ve done them on the state ride arounds. To each his own on riding styles.

Maybe, but I’m working on it.
Averaging Over 50k the last 14 years, you’d think I could ride better.

Yikes.
Thanks for the clarification. I was certain I either misunderstood or my cheese had left the cracker.
Those are some serious miles.

Or if not better, at least harder! Time to step up your game!

I have just over 20k on my double darkside set up. I mounted them up just before my 100ccc Memorial Day weekend and hit the the 20k mark while in Mexico for Labor day weekend.

Excellent Nate! Which tire brand and model do you install on the front and rear?

I have the same set up as Tony the bridgestone bt46 in the front and the bfgoodrich g-force on the rear.
