Tire wears out very quickly compared to the rear tire.
I bought my new bike and the tire is already at the bar. The dealer is telling me to get a new tire else inspection will fail. The rear tire tread is much better. Although they are both new tires with the new bike and only 7k miles riden.

rninet pure owner, thank you for your feedback. The wear of a tire can vary depending on riding style, usage, load, riding conditions, and proper inflation. It is always recommended to take your bike to a local dealer for inspection to see if there could be any underlying conditions.

12,500 Miles till belt!!!
After eleven months of highway commuting 60 miles per day, the rear tire just showed belt at 12,500 miles on my Michelin Road 6 195/55 ZR 17 tires. The front is still good. Very happy.

Front tire dry rot issue
Rear tire held up good good traction. The really disappointing part is the front tire on me and my community members has begun to dry rot after 6-12 months of use which is not what I would expect from michelin's most expensive touring tire. Originally I thought it was only me but after noticing the tires have the same problem with many users in Arizona I think it might be a manufacturing issue with the new 2CT± formula.

The Road 6 has been the best tire for the FJR I have used, these are the 2nd set for this bike. The handling has been far superior than others I have used. pretty much has transformed the bike in all respects.
