10k
Well, I hit 10k miles on the Ct today. Just gets better....
Hankook K-105 205 55 16 started at 40psi last year,
dropped to 38psi this spring and it felt a little better,
dropped to 35psi 3 weeks ago and WOW way better.
Definatly a smoother ride at 35. Should i try lower????
Tire shows no wear, on the flat or the edges.
Even had a new experiance today, took a hard right turn out of a stop sign,
got on it in 1st and the tire broke loose and spun WTF!!
Ok enuff of that, now I know it will spin.....
Thanks again to all you CT gurus here...
I have 1 ridin buddy that went DS and another going this week. (right Deb??)
least they can keep up in the twisties now...

Re: 10k
Hello Spud,
That's great wow 10k, and still looking like a new tire, I should lower my psi and try it again.
When my tire is cold i put in 36psi and when it is wormed up (about 6 miles) i put in 40psi , so I think I'll do the pressure waltz again and go lower this time just to see how low i can go with out feeling uneasy.
just a word of advice, after 10,000 miles you should take off your rear wheel and re-lube your drive splines with moly-paste.
Just looking out for you brother.
