  • G709 tire

    I stupidly put 14,700 miles on the new Bridgstone G709. It...is....bald. A couple grooves near the sidewalls. Will attempt to post a pic of it next to my new MPA which gets mounted this coming Tuesday. Are you tire gurus running your MPA reverse roatation w/ 41 psi???? That is what I did with my other MPAs and I think I did OK with the mileage. Can't remember...darn it)))

    Johnnies, I just passed 22,500 miles on my MPA. It is nearing the end of it's life. I have always kept 41 pounds in it and use dynabeads. We miss you and Ruthie.

        I always hated the way the MPA sings at certain speeds. BT45s are my choice of tire. You should give them a try.

          I have never noticed my MPA sing, of course I'm hard of hearing, but I have heard so many great reviews about BT 45's that I just ordered one from Shinopples and will be getting it installed this week.

            I know what a BT45 is, but what is this MPA?

              Put a BT45 on the front...at 40 or 41 psi...and remove any doubt.

              Just do it !

                    I use the rear MPA mouted in reverse at 41 psi.
                    I have run my 1st MPA and now my present one reversed.
                    I'm due for a new MPA next spring. I'm going to mount it the regular way, not reversed, just to see if there is any difference.
                    I got 25,000 out of my first one (changed it due to a long trip) and now have 22,000 on my present one.

                      Dyna beads?!?
                      by recon
                      I need to know whether to pull my lead balance weights after installing 2 oz of dyna beads in my front tire?
                      Please advise. Cruiseman has convinced me to try them out.
