New DarkSide ....

I toasted my Cooper Zeon 2XS in 7,400 miles it puts some doubt in me about the DynaBends. The Cooper Zeon 2XS I just took off was my 7th one I've bought and the worst mileage I've gotten with a DarkSide it was also the only one that I used DynaBeads in.Today I bought a Fuzion ZRI a high performance directional summer tire and I'm going to check it out . The Cooper had a 280 rating and the Fuzion has a 320 rating. Hope it sticks as good Photo below is the new Fuzion ZRi .

I don't know anything about this tire but it sure looks good.You don't think mayby the way you ride has something to do with mileage

Smokin'joe,
As I remember it you hit the Dragon every week .
I don't know why your tires ware out so fast
Let me think about that one. Hummm twisty roads , heavy bike , aggressive driving, can make a bike do anything even dance ,
NO can't think of any reason why your tires don't last.
Maybe it is the gas you are using, don't you use hydrazine?

I'm headin' out in the morning for Hwy. 209 in Hot Springs , NC . This road ROCKS and will be a great test for the new meat. I'll post back if I don't like it I'll be putting another Cooper Zeon on cause I know that tire will hang in the twisties.I still think the DynaBeads are snake oil and thats why my tire wore out it got 3,000 less than the one I replaced it with and my ridin' style is always " Ride it like you stole it " that tire is the only one I've used the DynaBeads in .





Picture below is the new tire I just installed ...Fuzion ZRi
