Save the penny, you've got a lot more miles before it wears down to the cord!

Put a fresh set of skins on that puppy and it'll ride like a new bike. How about a picture of the wear bars?

You haven't even re-grooved it yet?! You have a couple seasons left in that tire yet! Actually that tire is p[robably about the same or a little better than my front that I plan on running for the rest of this season. I still have my stock front Lazertech on.

Hey, what's with the grooves on that thing? Are they factory? But I'm sure that you'll have more gripping power on the pavement after you wear off those empty grooves. The smoother the tire, the more rubber hits the road!

Bit the bullet and got a new ME880 130/70.
Installed price was $173. Not too bad.
Fits fine no fender mods required.

According to my neighbors boyfriend... You've got some time left

I guess he turns left a lot.

Nope, he ain't got no time left, but maybe some time... right? I tried...
