My best rear tire ...EVER

Fuzion ZRi ....This tire has 11,931 miles on ( I thought it was more until I checked this morning ) at any rate it's still the best tire I've had on my Valkyrie for mileage and handling since 1998.I was trashin' Dunflops at 4,500 to 5,000 and only getting around 8,000 to 8,500 on Avon...I could have pressed a couple more thousand out of it ( maybe ) however I had a left bearing causin' a vibe I did'nt like so I pulled it off and I'm not going through all that work to just have to pull it all apart again soon.When my bike's hit the 10,000 mile mark on a rear tire all I think about is " I need to service the final drive " . Splines was still lubed at 11,931 miles however it was time to pull it to clean and re-lube if I had pushed a couple more thousand out of the tire I'm not so sure the splines would have still been well lubed

I've seen you other tires. They looked a lot worse with a whole lot less miles. Thanks for the update.

I would have expected more miles. Really. Those Valks must be hard on tires. (hint hint)

It's all that HONDA horsepower!

I KNEW that was coming! Enjoy your windy power and I'll enjoy my tractor-sloggin' TORQUE! WOOT!
We'll both get there about the same time. I really wonder how many miles I'll get out of this Vredestein - so far
it doesn't even look broken in.

I have right at 14thousand on my federal,,got a new kuhmo under the house waiting for the day..

I am quickly approaching 19,000 miles on my federal 595, on my Warrior. Prob. still get another 10,000 out of it.

That's the stuff man! Four bike tires in one!
