I didnt use the most accurate method. I used a clamp and the measured in between. Close to the same though.

 

Tire thread depth new (06/14/2012) was: 11/32"

Tire thread depth (09/26/2012) after 5.119 km (3,180 miles): 7/32"

Assuming I have to change the tyre at 2/32" thread depth, it will wear 9/32".

Expected mileage calculation:

If 4/32" = 3,180 miles,
than 9/32" = (9/32" : 4/32") x 3,180 miles) = 7,155 miles (11.514 km)

This expected result is a lot less than the 11,702 miles I got out of my Dunlop K591 150/80 B16 rear tire!

I'll keep you posted.....

 

Mine has been on my bike for a bit over 7000 miles and was on the bike when I bought it. It still has plenty of tread. I was going to take a pic but the Dyna is at home today.

 

Once you got home, could you do me a favor and take out the vernier caliper to measure the remaining thread depth?

 

Just installed my michelin commander ii last night and put 35 miles on it going to work today.......it rides a hell of a lot better than the slick i had haha

160/70/17

 

That looks like a pretty solid tire, I think I've found my next set...

 

Next time I ride it here to work I'll measure depth. Who knows, I may be exaggerating.

 

07bob, I saw a bike that looked just like yours at about 7 this morning on the 15. Not too many Rifle fairings round here

 

Anyone have any issues to report with em so far, even with it's narrower width?

 

I put a couple thousand miles on my set so far. Nothing but good news so far.
