Default RE: Tires

I got 2000 miles from my C858 before giving it to a buddy to finish off his 72 Kawi F11 2 stroke, still had a little over 1/4" of tread in the center and nearly full side *****. Good pavement tire and great for trail running but it gave up in the really deep slop. I honestly can't find fault with my Trackmaster 2 in the100/100-18 size. It's wearing well at 1700 miles and has all kinds of grip off road. I've heard reports of it being a "scary" pavement tire, and heard that it can really walk in a corner due to side **** flex. I could actually see it walk/flex when following my buddy on his XR650L. Maybe its the 20 HP difference between it and the KLX or weight, or that he has the 120 size but I don't find any of the above negative traits. My tires are worn right to the tip of the side ***** and they feel very planted on the pavement, which is very surprising given the tread pattern.

1500 miles:

Ask DivoDave what he thinks of the cheing shin tire. I am also running the trackmasters in the 110 rear size. I too find that road handling is better than I thought it would be.
