Gettin' ready to cross the country again, so I figured I'd better have good rubber on the road. The stock Dunlop front lasted 20,000 & the stock rear lasted 10,000. Both had life left in 'em but I was plannin' trips so I replaced 'em.
The rear got replaced 10,000 miles back with an E3. Both are being replaced with E3's today. I figured I'd save the rear E3 & put it back on when I wasn't plannin' any long trips. It's got 10,000 on it, but is barely half gone. The pictures will explain why that may not work out.
