Here's a second test for my Honda VTR1000.
Wear numbers are up. Tire wear is up too. I only got 2,800 miles from my last rear tire and the current tire won't go any longer. Last year I got 3,500 miles from a rear tire (same Dunlop 207).
Viscosity is down. Who said RL won't shear?
Calcium looks higher than normal RL so I don't know what to think of that.
