nklr-totally: 2006 gps worthy mc trips

[Guest]

In May of 2006, I made a trip across the four Western Canadian provinces. Prior to the trip I installed some Bridgestone Trailwings on the KLR: T21 Front; T22 Rear. This trip was mainly on paved roads which were in relatively good shape, until I got to Manitoba. The tires were quiet and handled well, even in the rain. However, the rear tire was pretty much done at the end of the 7500km trip. I checked the tire depth and pressure every morning before setting out - air pressure was good. My personal thoughts are that the rear tire should have lasted longer, especially with most of the travel on asphalt. Anyone have experience with these tires? - Michael A19

I ran a T22 on the rear of my KLR and had a similar experience, pleased with the performance of the tire on the pavement, but it only lasted around 5000 miles. Roy Cope
