The 83 is the best of the 1100 series , though they are all just about bullet proof . Rear tires will scallop . At 7 yrs old I would recommend you replace both tires only because of age . Proper air pressure will help the scallop effect not occur as soon . Also some tread designs show this wear pattern sooner than others . My 83 with a ChegShin ( ? ) was scalloped when I bought the bike , changed to a set of Metzler Marathons which also did this . The Avons now on the bike dont have enough miles to say how they will last .
