I got almost 7,000 out of my first set, so I figure buying one extra rear isn't too bad. Those tires KB was talking about sound interesting, but I am afraid that any harded tries after riding on these for the last 3 years and I'll lowside in no time.

why would you? the harder compound is only in the center for cruising, the sides are soft compound.
I'm also curious about the different curvature of the tire. they say that once you get used to it it makes for mroe confident leaning.
