Hmmm... thought I was the only one w/ that nasty flat spot.... (just replaced the OEM tires on the new bike not too long ago - only lasted about 6 grand... but then, they were eight years old!)
I've gotten 12-14 grand out of the Battlax tires... just got the BT-020's... Could have been me, but it seemed squirrely up front for about a thousand miles or so.... either I'm used to it now, or they've straightened themselves out. -Thomas =========================== Thomas H.
