  • Rotated once on 11-Nov-2007, when I had a flat (picked up a sheetmetal screw).
  • 60,000+ miles @ 45-50 psi (I only check them once a month, give or take)

Some feathering can be seen on the rear tire (left-side center blocks). This was the ONLY tire that had screwy wear, and it happened on my other HX, not this one. Probably an anomaly, defect, alignment problem, or because I've only rotated them once in 60K miles.



Sorry for the dirt and rocks, but we had severe thunderstorms here last night!
