I realize that an F bike is not a "real" BMW. But let me spell it out for you.Comparing tire performance and wear patterns on an F bike to that of a tire on a K or R bike will reveal little useful data.
- Tire wore in the center only. See above post to note how tires on K bikes wear in the center also. Amazing! I never would've thought a F bike would wear tires in the same area as a K or R bike.
- Tire did not wear on the sides. It looked like it was still new. Do K and R bikes do that?
- Past performance of even the same manufacturer's tires, does not indicate what new tires will do.
- And it can even be half the tire life you expected from the same brand tire. On a new and "improved" tire.
- A freebee...if you buy a tire with no tread crossing the center...you'll never know how close you're getting to the cords.
And you wonder why people are dropping BMW MOA???
