BattleWings

Finally replaced the stock rear Battle Wings @7k but it still has 3/32" left. Will save for another day. Most riding was in flat lands, as I haven't been able to get to mountains this year.

They are OK on hard dirt and pretty good on pavement. They seem pretty neutral in turns, but will have to get to the mountains to really get a feel.

I ran a set of Battlewings on my Strom and I hated them. Best tire I have run is the old Tourance, not the EXP...our roads are hot chip and very abrasive so tire wear is heavier here. Tourance wore better and held better on pavement and dirt. Just my .02 :+)
