Bridgestone S20 shredding after long ride

[Pecan Pouch]

I got just over 4000 out of the S20 that I had on the rear of mine. In my opinion, this tire will do the job it was intended/designed for and do it well! I will be buying more of them.

Thats more miles than to be expected out that tire!

would alignment have something to do with it?

I wish I could get that many mles out of a single tire...

Well you can forget about the curves Mr florida Man lol you left yet?

Exactly. I wasn't planning on taking a 1000 mile interstate trip when I bought the tire. I got it for my normal riding which was 95% back roads and mountains. It was a great tire for that and gave me the confidence to attack the curves while I'm learning body positioning.

Tiller just set the TEAM GIXXER record Barber lap time - 1:42:4 - on a S20....I watched him leave a darkie all the way out of about 5 turns (I have video to prove it). I may not have long life, but it dang well has some good dry traction!

I ran my first set of PR3's this summer, rode them 14,300 km's from Nova Scotia, Canana to Reno, Nv and back. While they do have a flat spot in the middle they still have quite a bit of life left in them.

Bah, you are fine as long as you stay on curvy roads. still plenty of tread on the sides... ???

Made it home nursing the tire. Any thoughts on the groove down the center?

tires well and truly worn out, next 100 miles = wires showing
