A new tire, 130 miles of good riding

I put on a new front tire this morning, bt-016, weather was between 54-63 degrees depending upon the time of day, so I went out to scuff up the new tire a bit on a nice relaxed solo ride today before riding with my normal crew tomorrow. 130 miles in total today. I'm curious to see what type of mileage I get out of this tire.

It's supposed to be 68 degrees tomorrow which should be warm enough to get the wife out on her bike as well.

Going with a set of Pirelli Demon's next year. The old POS won't take radial tires.

Let us know how the 16's work for you.

Did another 100 miles today I'm loving the 016's.

I'm gonna try a 190/55/17 out back next
