just had www.worldofwheels6.com. install two new tires on my savage today and i was able to put about 100 miles on them this afternoon. my opinion is this: they made a new bike out of my new bike. it handles so much better than the oem - irc stuff also it seems to ride better. now i went with 130/90-15 rear and 110/90-19 front i hope the mileage is better than the irc stuff. so far i reccomend them john

Am looking into getting new rear tire and just wondering what I will be looking at and how much my wallet will scream from pain as I shell out the cash.

justin_o_guy Ex Member	Re: dunlop 404 Reply #11 - 01/05/07 at 21:31:17 For that coin & mileage I will stick with the ProMaxx by Maxiss. Sticks to the pavement just fine & if I am careful with the brake pedal I can get 6,ooo easy. I got 7,000 on the last one, but I think I am riding a bit harder now. Oh, & I Shoulda changed the last one at about 6,500, buut was not ready. Man it was WORE out!

I think it was max who clued me in on it. I've got 5,000 miles on this set of them, and I can hardly tell they've been used. Granted, mileage will vary from place to place and rider to rider.
