I know a lot of you were somewhat incredulous about me getting 10,000 miles out of a rear Corsa III, but I really did.

However, the second only lasted 6500 miles as I had to replace it this weekend.

I am somewhat disappointed with the huge disparity in miles between the two as I ride pretty consistently and don't beat on my XB too much.

Maybe they're like light bulbs. If they made them as good as they could..........

The first was one of the original tires when they began manufacturing the Corsa III. I was fortunate enough to get in on the deal where they sent you a free front with purchase of a rear.

The front lasted 14,000 miles and I just swapped that out a month or two ago.

Maybe they made that first batch extra good and subsequently didn't focus so much on the next runs.

The only nice thing Rich is that Cycle Gear has really come around on tire prices. There isn't nearly the cost savings buying them on line any more.

I actually had them mount the tire on the rim for me yesterday. I walked in expecting to not be able to get it done right away and they did it in 20 minutes, so it saved me the trouble.

I got 12k out of my front Diablo Corsas and 10k off the rear which was changed out @ 2k b/c I picked up a screw.
