It should be a high-wearing tire. I've read that folks are
getting 5k miles out of them, on much larger bikes. Let me know
how they wear for you. Are you putting these shoes on your
stock rims?

how it does. their website say required rim is 2.75- ya right-

I have been using 705's on my KLR for a while. They are fine on
pavement and dry gravel. I wouldn't recommend them for mud or
offroad.

these tires suck- the only thing they are good for is dry road-
even then on the slick roads here in italy, i kicked out a
couple times downshifting...maybe its because they are so small
but i am looking for something else. today both tires lost
traction and i layed it down slow speed. everything good but
damn its very sketchy when the road is wet...

Good to know about the tires. I'm sorry to hear you laid it
down. I hope you're alright.
