Hi, anyone run the above tyres on an R80/100 if so what sort of mileage do you get front and rear. Cheers Chris.

Probably the best on-off road tire -- a true 50%/50%. We generally get about 8,000mi/13,000km on the rear, and about 25,000km on the front. Road quality, temp, and your speed will all effect your range.

Oh, the extreme right knobs of the 130/80-17 rubbed (heard a squeak) the swingarm on my R100PD after the tire settled. Took a knife to these knobs, and shaved 'em ever-so-slightly. Very simple, and no worries.
