Hello All,
I looked to see whether this topic was discussed before, but didn't find a thread that could answer my questions, so here is what I wanted to ask.
I have a set of Michelin's Road 5 on my 2018 NC750X and I have been very pleased with them in terms of mileage and handling. Both tires were changed at the same time and if I remember correctly I have roughly 8500 miles on this set. As it stands, on front tire, the TWI (Tread Wear Indicator) is telling me that the tire will need to be replaced soon. On the rear tire, I would estimate it has about another 35-40% of tread life left in it (I included photos for ease of reference). This begs the question: should I change just the front tire or replace both tires at the same? If I would to replace it/them, I would certainly go for the exact same tire (i.e. Michelin Road 5s).
Any views / opinions on the above question?
Thank you in advance for your input!
