[QUOTE="dommy2, post: 27912, member: 1825"] I have covered just over 2000 miles on a Series A Comet & noticed last week that the rear tyre has about 1.5mm tread left in the centre. The tyre fitted is a Dunlop K70 Gold Seal fitted 2 years ago, I know that the Comet is a Sports Model :) but this does seem excessive wear to me. The pressures I have been using are 24 PSI front & 28 PSI rear, the bike has been loaded up a few times and rides really well. (Incidentally the front tyre wear is negligible.). Any other Comet Riders want to share their tyre wear mileages to see if this is normal or not? Cheers Jon. [/QUOTE]
