yoda Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Perhaps you should fit Town & Country crossplys. If you are having tyre problems with your car as well as your bike, may I suggest that you should review your driving. 3000 miles of heavy use would be about right on a rear tyre. You need to fit tyres with a bias towards touring to get a longer life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
