So no one should post their experiences?

I've actually found tires to be one of the things I look for on other forums, even when they don't have the same type of bike I have. The reason why, is that we share the same size of tire. What works for you? What didn't? Then I can try sorting that out for myself based on everyone's comments.
I look at the manufacturer's comments about a tire and dismiss them almost immediately. Why? Because they all give excellent tire life, and outperform every other tire on the market in both dry and wet conditions. That can't be so; they can't all be the best.
So then I look at the owner reviews. Some I can dismiss immediately. The owner has less than 100 miles on the tire and rates it highly on everything. But then you'll find occasionally where someone has put a couple thousand on the tire and been caught in rain. What do they say? If I start seeing a consensus of opinions on dry and wet performance, that means something to me.
The CTX doesn't have that many owners, nor that many members on this forum compared to others. Many here will be coming up on their first tire change. But the tire size and use isn't much different than you will find on other forums. The NC700X forum has people going through their first tire changes. Their experience can help you make a choice. And the NT700V forum has people going through their 3rd, 4th or 5th tire change. There's a lot of experience there.
I probably won't change tires till next spring or perhaps as late as next summer. But I'm already looking at my options. If I have to replace my tire because I picked up a nail and can't repair it, I want to know what my choices are instead of just taking what the store has on the shelf...because no one else bought it.
I agree. Oil threads are next to useless. But I'd like to know which tires people are finding lasted them more than others, and which ones gave them confidence in cornering.
