Rear Tire!

I needed a new rear tire on my Supermoto so I got a Michelin Pilot Road tire. Its actually a sport touring tire. Its a bit heavier but I wanted longer wearing tire since I use my Motard mostly for my commute. Maybe next time I'll go for a more sporty tire. My brother has this tire on his Supermoto too and has got almost 6k miles on it and there's about 2k to 3k of tred left. Another thing cool is I got the tire mounted and balanced by Mototire Guy for $15 per wheel. If any of you live in the SF bay area I highly recommend this guy. You save a lot of money by buying the tire online & having it shipped to your place or having it shipped to Mototire Guy and then you just bring in your rim & old tire and you're in & out in less than an hour. MTG also installs the tire if you bring your bike in but that costs $35 per wheel. It beats all the local shop prices that I know of. In these tight times every penny saved helps. On a side note if you need him to get rid of your tires he charges $3 for tire disposal.
