He might not be the best one to ask about how rear's are holding up,
thinking just the opposite. He looks like EXACTLY the person to ask about tire life.

Sure the race front wears fast then the road fronts but I can run them several thousand miles farther then a road front simply because even with the tire bald it still grips and feels great. But ill still mount a PR3 front for our short winter since I ride in the rain when it finds me.
Thanks, that's good to know.. I have them on my 919 and so far so good, but it will take me a few seasons to wear them out.
