Re: [ST] Replace Both Tires?

On most any bike I've owned, I've generally gotten twice the mileage
out of the front vs. the rear. So the front gets replaced every other
time I replace the rear. I've been getting about 5k on the rear with
Dunlop 220s. The next change the front is also due so I may try a
different brand.

Assuming that the front tire is ok, (still having about 6000 miles
left) should I just replace the rear only or should I do them both?
With 6000 left on the front, and a new rear that will probably see
12,000 unless I get another flat, I'm thinking of changing them both
out beacuse of the wear differential I'll have if I don't. Although
some guys here at work seem to think I'll go through the new rear
before the current (already 6000 mile worn) front wears out. Both are
Pilot Roads, and I plan on sticking with that model rear again.
