Good bunch of guys.
Well I figured out why my dunlop tire wore out so soon. How about 27PSI. Just ordered a new Mez 880 wide white wall tire and purchased a new digital tire gauge. That was a 200 dollar mistake I won;t make again. Thanks for all of your input. Good bunch of guys.
Avon Cobras & Dunlop Elite 3s are not made for the 1300 tire sizes, unfortunately. So your best bets are the Avons or Metzeler 880s. For the 1300R model, Avon only makes the Venom for the rear tire size. For the front tire, you have to go with an Avon Roadrider, which has a different tread pattern. Just future reference material!

I'm fixin to have to buy some Avons for the wife's 1300 and I didn't know this. Thanks for the heads up about the front tire. Thanks Jason!

To increase the repeatibilty of a standard pencil/stick type gauge you can use this procedure.Before taking a pressure reading, pull the gauges scale all the way out then press the gauge against the stem and allow ppressure to enter the gauge. While is has pressure on the gauge, gently push the scale in until it stops. I've found this increases the gauges repeatable accuracy and provides consistant readings.
