Hey y'all:

Why is it that I consistently have used the entire tire on my Michelin PP 2CTs, but still have 1/2" chicken strips on (after 2500 miles) on my Dunlops? 

i know I'm riding just as hard on the Sportmax Q2s - is there just more lean angle available on them vs. the Michelins? 

Curious if anyone else has noticed a similar pattern.  FWIW, the Dunlops grip really nicely and seem to be wearing well, would definitely get another set.  Not great in the wet though, the Michelins were much less slippy :o

dumb question here but are they both the same size and profile?

Size is the same.  Not sure about the profile - that's what I'm wondering.
