iv got around 1600mi (12 mo) on my rear tire, Dunlop Sport max and the cord is showing threw!!! is this normal for moderate riding? And NO i havent ever burned out! with that now im wondering what tire would be a better replacement. im in a VERY wet environment so its gotta be good on water. |

I cant say from personal experience but that sounds way too fast to wear out. You sure gremlins aren't doing burnouts while you are away? |

That sounds ridiculous. The 1600 mile part, not the gremlins. |

Had the same exact thing just happen with mine. Same tire. About 2k at most, no burnouts, about 75% highway and the center blistered for about 3/4 of the circumference, and then showed the beginning of the cord. Changed it out immediately with a Pirelli Angel ST in 180-55. |

If you do alot of straightline/highway riding switch to a dual compound tire! I went with Dunlop RoadSmarts and love them... will likely put them on my 1125 as well! (Message edited by tbolt98 on August 10, 2011) |

I recently put a Michelin Pilot Road 3 on the M2 and it has been great. Multiple compound tires can really give the best of both worlds in my opinion. |

I would bet that your rear tire isn't lining up perfectly with your front tire. I have the same tires with about 1500 miles on them and the look brand new. |

Depends on rider and conditions. I've toasted the sides of a tire in a few hours in twistys in less than two tanks of fuel. Middle looked new. Replace Ride Repeat |
