The rear tyre on my Deauville is down to its wear bars. The amazing thing, for me, is that wear is practually even should to shoulder, without a flat spot in the center. That has never happened to a rear tyre for me before.
Yes. But I have used other tyres that had 2 compounds that still went a bit flat in the middle. Not crazy flat, but definitely noticeable. This OTOH has not.
