Nehpets,
I'm curious....
If you had no confidence in them, why have you waited so long to change them ?? Have you had any major moments with them in their life?

Even 9,000 is incredible mileage for a rear tyre, given the torque that is being applied to them. Agreed that changing to tubeless rims will give you access to some more sticky rubber, but i'll bet that you won't get anywhere near the mileage from a Bridgestone or other road tyre.

I have ridden my Tigers to the limits of handling and performance both on the track and on the road,and apart from a few twitchy moments in the rain, i have never had a major moment using the Tourances.

I'm not having a pop, i am just curious to know your reasons behind your eagerness to get shot of them ??

Has anybody else had problems with the Tourance's ??
