Observation, I just got back from 150 mile ride. I check my bike before parking, the tires chain ect. I took a look at the back tire first for nails then the front, both were clean. What grabbed my attention was the amount of tread or lack of tread compared to the back tire I had to look more than once to see if I was not mistaken. This is the first set of 016's on my bike I have 85,500k @ 81,700 that's when I put them on. My rear tire has plenty of life left, the front has half the tread life of the rear. I don't know about any one else, but 80% of the time I have gone through 2 rear tires before I change the front, the 20% is due to tire damage.
My question is, has any one warn out a front tire before a rear tire and is that a common occurrence regardless of brand.
This is my take on what's going. Since I have switched from the M3 I have better front end feed back, I seem to drop the bike deeper and faster in the corners, that's the only logical thing I can come up with.
Any feed back would be great.:smokin2:
