You meant T66X, right?

Whatever. It's round and black and will fit my wheel.

Gino,
I'll be curious as to what kind of mileage you get from these. The
T66s are the only tires I toasted in less than two weeks. They were
mounted on a 1992 BMW R100GS. The outside blocks were supposed to be
softer than the center blocks. They sure were. I didn't even get
1000 miles out of them. I hope they've changed from "Pink Pet
eraser" rubber to something more durable.

Our founding father comes back to visit, and look at what he has to
put up with... HA!! Are they this tough over at the V-Strom list?
I visit there occasionally, but haven't spent much time lurking.
There are almost as many posts there as we have..... Thoughts??

The V-Strom list is a nice civil list with a noticeable lack of know-
it-alls. The bike is still new so there isn't much info of the tech
nature and they haven't discovered the joys of topics such as gun
control, bears, holding environmentalists liable for devistating
forest fires, the myth of synthetic oil, etc... But DL riders do seem
to be piling the miles on and there are lots of BMW riders who have
seen the light and gone to the Strom for riding satisfaction.

I ran them on my Tiger. The new ones wear very well. Without noticing, I got
one that was a few years old... wore out real quick. Check the manufacture
date just for grins.

You know, RM. The V-Strom is a big, fast bike. I think it might be
too much bike for you. I'd hate to see you get hurt.
