Just replaced my rear tyre and for the first time EVER i have got over 5000 miles from a rear tyre on the gen 1
5586 miles from a 023
the 023 before that only got 4407 but the first 023 was a normal one and the 2nd one (5586) was a 023 heavy. there are 2 types one is designed for things like fjr1300's and the realy big heavy tour bikes.
fitted it by mistake and to be honest it dose not feel as good as the normal 023. it feels a bit stiff and unforgiving, allmost to the point of feeling overinflated even though i was running it a good 5psi lower than normal.
but at 1000 miles more from it, it could be worth the lack of feel.
Just replaced it with a PR3 though so will see how that lasts, but it feels realy good. as expected as i loved the pr2's
