Getting the DRZ ready for the early season.
I think I got about all I could out of this one.
Same tire at opposite ends of its life cycle!
Springtime fresh!
DRZ cleaned up and ready for a shake down ride.

Re: Smoke 'em if you got 'em

I will have to inspect closer though. This one may be showing a wee bit of cord.

Wow. I'm out of touch with street tires. It's remarkable how close to a slick the new one is. Exciting in heavy rain I bet.

Mike,
I'm surprised you had that much tread left on the side! I'm searching for a set for the DR as we speak. I think I'm going to try Conti SM tires... The Avon tires didn't last long enough.

West Virginia. I stay well off the beaten path. The fact that the DRZ won't go much faster than 90, maxed out, helps.motojunky wrote:Wow. I'm out of touch with street tires. It's remarkable how close to a slick the new one is. Exciting in heavy rain I bet.

It's more the backing into corners, wheelying, etc. that I think would get me busted...mdubya wrote:West Virginia. I stay well off the beaten path.

Every little town, though, you must toe the line so that you are not mistaken as an open revenue source for the local PD.
