The front tire wear, on the TG, depends heavily upon riding style. If you are an agressive cornerer, and frequentkybrun the twisties, it’s gonna scrub down quickly. I f8tbin that category, and got 7,000 on the OEM Dunclap, and getting about 10,000 on Michelin CIIs.

Yes, mounted in reverse. Yes, that is a common practice when using a rear tire up front.

Mine is a Freewheeler so slightly lighter bike but also a smaller front tire. It is at 23K and looks to have a little more to go. My dealer had an incredible tire sale last St Pat's day of 30% off so I bought one for later.

With a 120ST in it the machine does not exactly get babied.
