Doing a quick once-over this evening before heading out to meet spklbuk out in God's Country this weekend. Was a little surprised to see the wear bars peeking back at me on from front K60. It shouldn't surprise me, it has 17K miles on it, which is 70% longer than any other front has lasted me. I installed my 3rd rear K60 just 2K miles ago, so it should have another good 4K+ to go before I need to replace that. Based on how the front had been doing I really thought it was going to make it.
So my delema... what do I put on the front for the next 4K+ miles? In some ways I feel like a man adrift on the ocean, tires, tires everywhere, but not a one to use.
I have my original Battlewing front with only 2.3K worn off. And I have a spare Anakee II with only 4K worn off. Mileage wise, both of these would work perfectly to get me to the end of my K60 rear. But I'm listening to the warning of Checkswrecks and not going to put on a superior grip front to my K60 rear. I don't want to buy anther K60 front because in 4K+ miles I plan to checkout some of the new offings on the market to see how I like them. So....?
Any suggestions for what would be a good match to a rear K60 that will last me just about 3 or 4K miles? I'll probably add anther 1,300 to the rear this weekend so I'll be down to around 3K remaining on that one.
