Thumbs down Tires

So I search the web for a different tire. I come across a a Full Bore tire. cheap nice looking tire. I think wtf lets try this one. Sent a massage to the seller on Ebay, tirescheap and told him I had a "Harley bagger" and asked what the mileage was and he wrote back and said about 12k I was like wow now I gotta try them. Long story short I got the tire both front and rear, mounted them. They handled GREAT both wet and dry driving conditions, cornered VERY very good, brake held well, then I saw the tread. After only 4k miles I was bald. I am a retired fireman I dont have any "burn outs" anymore I ride my bike to and from only.
I wrote the the Full Bore tire and they told me that the tire was not for Harley baggers due to the bike being to heavy. I wrote the ebay guy tirescheap and he was like I will turn you into Ebay for threatening me about a refund. My advice is don t buy anything from this guy he lied to me and told me that his MC club gets great mileage on that tire. He must ride rice 750cc burners. VROOM VROOM
