The tires lasted about 1800 miles.
Good luck

That skating feeling on dirt roads from the MT60's on my 450SMR was what told me there was potential to develop a 950SM into a slider!!

If it is compatible with our suspension, I am getting one! I don't want it for the ground access, rather for the handling change it might offer for lateral riding.
edit to add:
Don't forget to order fork seals if you get the lowering kit!
