New 402's feel good.

Just switched back to dunlop 402's, I have run 2 sets of 880's got 6000 miles on first set and 5000 on last set. Kept the rear at 49psi and the front 42psi. The rear was the 140-16 and front 130-16. At least I know the 402's last at least 7000 miles for the rear and double that for the front. It feels like a new bike no more following all the tar strips and ridges in the road. 1/4 ounce on the front to balance and 3/4 ounce on the rear. This is with a Snap-on spin balancer static and dynamic. At 20,000 miles a year the metz were just not worth it.

Hmmm. I just recently switched to the 880's and the bike handles great. Now I'm curious to see what kind of mileage I'll be getting out of them.
