Yup. The WR is still pretty new, though, so I haven't worn a set out on it yet. The stock rear was completely toast at 2,500 miles, so I swapped both stockers out for 606's and am sitting at about 3,500 miles right now.

I used the 606's for 35k miles on my KLR. Commuted on it every day, too. Easy 4,500 for every rear. 5k if I didn't have a dirt ride scheduled and was only using it on the pavement. The WR is quite a bit lighter than the KLR, so we'll see how this set goes. I do just a little over 1k miles a month, so I'll let you know how they stand up on the WR.

The fronts are usually fine when the rear is toast, but I've always swapped both out at the same time . . . just because.
