Any word on the rear tire? Mine seems to be doing what the front was.

Glad the moco has finally stepped up to the plate on this issue. I'm sure they wouldn't have done anything if we wouldn't have raised our voices. I got screwed out of a new tire because my tread depth was below 1/32 where they take their measurement after I bounced around the entire country. Needless to say, the dealer I dropped $40k at has lost out on thousands and thousands of dollars worth of my business because they played the part of the moco puppet. I'd suggest that anybody still riding on these tires take them back immediately while you can still get a replacement. I have about 8k on my 408F and have not noticed any unusual wear yet.
