| Hey guys,
Since moving up to a Blackbird, it's a whole new tyre world to get my head around.. a scary new world where mileages are lower and the prices are higher.. :S
At the moment, I run Michelin Pilot Roads and so far I'm happy with those, but I'm wondering what the range is.. I'm not interested in the super sticky trackday rubber, rather something that will last me at least 7-8000 km between changes.
What are you guys running, and what are you getting out of a set mileage wise? |

| You want steveCBR11XX!! Only other person I can think of with that kind of bike is Grimbusa - obviously the Suzuki version and not the Honda version, but he might be worth a PM.

| Hi just replaced my tyres on me XX, kept with Bridgestones 020 paid £189 fitted. Bridgestones are replacing the 020 with 021 duel compound so 020 are at a good price at the moment so look around I got 14000 miles out of the front and 8000 from the back on a set of 020, if you do alot of pillioning expect 4 to 4500 mile from the rear. I would recommend them |

the main reason for that particular low mileage was due to giving steve a lift home from the downs (about 4 miles) and had nothing to do with Fi. Steve - diet mate! your expensive!
