[drmajor]

#1 .. 2 mostly
#2 .. ME880
#3 .. mileage (aprox)- 13,200 when changed out.
#4 .. open roads mostly
#5 .. Road surface quality you ride most = Highways.

Also, I had AV45ST on front when at 7000 it split in a strange way. Avon is replacing. B020 on back with 8000+ and looks good. Really like this combo.

Now have B020 front and rear. Seems to stear fast and for the moment, handles well.

#3 .. 11k rear, over 18k front (but its time for a replacement)

#4.. 70% super slab, 15% rural highways, 10% city streets, 5% twisties

I don't do anything special. It's hard to believe I got so much better mileage out of my tires. I changed out my first set of ME880s at 18,000 because I was going on a Four Corner USA trip. I'm planning to put those tires back on because they still have 1/2 their tread.
