Hey Doc it sure is easy to spin that rubber off when you don't have that cush drive to take up the torque isn't it?

I think I have around 10 K on that tire .... pretty much all city driving.

That's one of the problems with having a low fender .... you can't see the tire.

Interesting to look at .... you can see I prefer to turn left.

I find it very easy to spin the tire, especially if accelerating over the road paint strips. I can feel the tire break away slightly as I accelerate from a top and I hit the strip.

I bought the front at the same time and it's about 1/2 worn.
