Hey another benefit to runnin a CT...changed my front Avon Venom for the new Avon Cobra today. Checked the mileage on it...16,209, and no cord showin yet. Had wear bars though, so it was time.
The others got 9k and 11k, that was with the MT.
Got caught in a bad t-storm tonite, 2-3 inches of rain, hail, flooded roads...in one spot, water was over the boards, CT got me home though cheers but damn, hail hurts at 70... affraid

Guess I'm a wimp too. I'll take hiding behind the shield versus unneeded pain any day. Glad you got home ok.
