Dunlop K555. It is what I put on before, it was the only tire the guy could get that would fit. I am not sure how long I had it, but I did put about 6500 miles on the tire. $180 for the whole nine yards installed. You do not realize how much tire is supposed to be there until you get a new one on.

36 miles per dollar.

So Justin, does that work out to $0.36 per mile?

I got the last tire in august of 09.

The guy that that was about what everyone around here was getting for their tires. He is a Harley guy and I think works mostly on them. He said the wear pattern was pretty typical for around here as well.

Noo,, about 2.8 cents/mile,

100 pennies / 36 miles

18,000 pennies / 6500 miles = 2.769 blahhdeeblahhblahh, cents /mile.
