The definitive answer is no, there is no difference in front tire wear with a car tire or without

I respectfully disagree.
My front definitely wears faster when running a car tire on the back.
Might not be an issue for constant Interstate running but for back road riding it pushes the front more.

So...maybe there is NOT a definitive answer. Sounds like yes, no, maybe, depending...

What kind of miles did you get on your 1st one?

22,000 km running it to Alaska and back then likely another
8,000 when I got home.
We found the roads up there extremely hard on tires. I expected to get around 40,000 km out of it.
Also feel the pressures were too high. Ran 40, now run 34.

Same as the Gmax AS-03

If I didn't have to deal with the paperwork I'd send you my used, still very good Raptor for shipping cost. You got a USA address?

I actually have a buddy on tour down your way now.
I’ll see if I can track him down.

Geez! I know about the exchange rate but man, you're getting raped! I can still get it for US$105 delivered.
