A few years back I bought the Avon RR's like everyone else did when reports of their performance became common knowledge. I'm 19/18, so I am 100/90/19 and 110/90/18 respectively. Go ahead a few years and my front has plenty of tread left..... (the crazy thing is I bought 2 fronts back then, so I even have a new one to back up the old one which is in very good shape) My rear tire is worn down the middle and the snake-like groove on the crown recently disappeared from wear, so I'd rather not take a chance and ride it much longer even though there's good tread pattern left on the sides.
I just bought a Battlax46 to replace the rear tire, because it was about $50 cheaper than the Avon RR, and it's a dedicated rear tire, so I assume it has more tread thickness than a universal tire like the RR.
Being that my tires are different width, I can't just move the front to the back every time the rear tire wears out. I guess when I had tires that were the same size,(K81's) I never noticed how much my front tire outlasts the rear. I just moved the front to the back and bought a new front.
Anyone have a thought on the comparative lifespan of a front tire versus the back tire? double? triple? something else?
From what I've read, I'm sure I'll like the Battlax46 but am open to comments about it since it's the first one I've ever tried...
Thanks in advance..
