    Is centre wear normal in S10 rear tires?

    Is center wear normal on all S10 rear tires or is it just mine? The factory battlewings started wearing flat in the center strip around 5000kms and continued for another 15K kms while the shoulders were in tact. I thought it was a flaw in Battlewings. But I have switched to Metzler Tourance Next...

    OEM Top Box

    I have the OEM panniers and now thinking of adding the OEM top box as well (merely to match the side boxes). This is in preparation for my cross-country trip.
