I went back with a MII on rear. Left front alone this time around.

Pulling the tire was not that bad. It will be quicker next time as I will know what to pull

Think I might try the "take off the shocks" method and see what that does.

$35.00 for mount. Took 3 hrs and I had it back. Back on the road just in time for a cold front to push through lol.....

I'm thrilled to get 4k miles from a rear tire on my Nomad. From other tire wear discussions had here, I've concluded it has everything to do with riding style, the guys hitting 20k on a set of tires also tend to short shift and never spin their tachs past 4k. Not a criticism, ride your own ride and all that, just observation. Perhaps I flog ol' "Norah" so hard because I miss my Meanstreak, but the fact these Vulcan motors can rev is why I ride GREEN.

On a side note, I've found rear tire changes are much easier if you simply remove the rear fender (on a Nomad anyway). Leaving a 900lb bike 3ft in the air for days on a 30x20" jack doesn't sit well with me!

I like those tires. They now have the stock size of rear tire that is Shinko SR777 H.D. 170/70/B-16 81H. I have a new one ready to replace my old Shinko 777 H.D. 180/65/B-16 81H.

I didn't know they had that I order mine 4 months ago when I picked up a screw the decided to plug it against my better judgement plugged it got 2000 more miles out and started loosing air 10 lbs over 2 weeks put the 180-65-16 last night It rides good and I found a small nail in the old one.
I hope it goes 10000-12000 mi we will see.
I ride hard but no burn outs.

I didn't know about the 999's I need to get out more.
I'll be anxious to see what kind of mileage you get.

I've run commander 2&3's. Very happy with them. I get about 15000 miles out of them. So much better than the stock Exedra.
