Approaching 14,000km and the rear tyre, although it has reasonable tread left, has squared off badly - to the point where it almost looks as though the middle line of the tyre is below the level of the areas either side of it...(not seen that before). Have always run at recommended pressures a la book.
So would you change it now or would you run the last coupla thousand km out of it? Can't say it handles that badly, but then, you get used to things that sneak up very slowly...

I'd change it personally. Would suck(not in a good way) if the next thread you posted up said something like "if only I had changed my tyres).
14,000kms...oh how I dream

I'm tempted to change them now since I can get a good price on a set of PR2's....if I wait the price will not come down...and like you said DMNTD, that next post......errrrrrr.

The instructions are simple...
How good a price? I'm up to 17000kms. Not squared off but definitely on borrowed time...
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Don't mean to be a wet blanket dude but that price sound pretty expensive to me, I know the price of tyres have gone up but sheesh!
How 'bout a pic of said rear tyre so we can see what were all talking about?
The instructions are simple...
That is a great price. Who do I have to shag to join in?
Tried to buy PR2s round here John? >$600 F+B

If that's a great price what the hell have you been quoted?

See above...
He did say a set. Best price I can get round these parts is $550. And that was a maybe cos they were out of stock.

Cycletreads are near $100 dearer - without fitting and balancing. And it IS a set - front and rear....

My bad, I take it back, for a "set" that would be an awesome price.

I got quoted for a Bridgestone multi-compound BT-016 190/50 (rear only) $465! best part of $500 fitted!!
ZZZZZZZZZZ
Bargain!
Hell, I'd be happy with $465 to my door and I'd put them on myself!
