Rear tires....does cost matter?

Bandio, the Yokohama has 15000 mi on it and shows little wear. The ride characteristics are slightly different than a cycle tire but for a commuter this is the ticket. It will last forever and provides great stability especially with two up riding. Thanks for your pioneering efforts and information.

my one scooter has 10 000km on its rear duro tyre and still looks decent. I had to change the front one at 8000 km so personal experience with the Duro tyres has been good and they cheep equivalent to about $50 us fitted and all.
