What the hell are you guys doing to only get 8-10 thousand miles on a CT? You must run a lot different roads then I do. Been to the coast of California and back to Ontario Canada, ran the twisties in WV... tire still looks like new. Just sayin'!!!:shrug:
I've only put 12,000 (s)miles on my Kumho, so far. I haven't measured the tread depth, but it looks like I've only used about half?
This tire is simply wonderful. Grips like glue on wet & dry roads, smooth & stable on the interstate & city roads, steady as it can be at 'speed' (it seems to be having a contest with the motor: who love the rpms more) and a joy in the twisties.
I've done a couple Saddle Sore 1000 rides, 60+ PGR missions, trips along the coast, in the deserts, in the mountains... anywhere I can think of.
I can't think of any reason to switch brands/models at the next change.
