How many miles do you get from tyres..........................

Running 014s and they seem to be wearing very fast, ok so I have done 800 miles in the past week and 3 days but looking at the tyre with was brand new 3 weeks ago it looks quite worn already

I did 5k and 3 track days on my original michelins on the ZX6. I do not ride using torque power though. I run the bike smooth. Know people that did near 6k on the same set of tyres

About 3 or 4k miles front and rear, then I change anyhow, I don’t trust worn tires for hard riding!

I normally average about 2 miles per set !!..and if im lucky I get through 3 rear tyres a month !!!

Tyre pressure has a big impact on tyre life - less pressure = shorter life (but more grip).

I used to run manufacturers recommended pressures (36/41) and would consistently get around the 6k mark on a rear and slightly more on a front (Diablo’s, 010’s, 014’s) - had 8k out of a Diablo rear on my TLR once. Now I run 34/36 and I get around 3/4k from a rear and still around 6k on the front.

I get about the same out of my tyres as Jay. To quote CBF Matt, “gosh, I know its time to replace my rear tyre as its that squared off, the bike nearly stands up on its own”

I usually manage a couple of track days and total 5000 miles on a set of SuperCorsas on the heavyweight ZX7R. The SuperCorsas on the SV are usually changed with about 100 miles on them.

5k on Supercorsas is impressive!

I put a new set of boots on the SV about 1000 miles ago (Metzeler Sportec M1) and the rear is already looking a bit worn…guess that’s over enthusiastic engine braking for ya

I think I’m going to go for those remold coloured thingys that the stunters use…can’t remember the name of them at the moment…anyone?

So what’s the explanation for my mileage then??? perhaps it’s becouse 80% of it is motorway travelling…

Tomahawk tyres - but most people don’t rate them.

A combination of motorway mileage, riding style (less hard acceleration and braking e.g. motorways), tyre pressures.

yep, i’d go with smooth riding

…or age of rider

I found 014’s disappeared before my eyes, much better life frome the Corsas. Am running a new pair of 010’s at the mo -

and speed of rider eh Cezar? LoL

I got about 6k from my diablos and one track day there is still life in them but they are becoming unstable now in corners so I have a new pair ready to go on tuesday!!! and thats on a v-twin

i got about 3500 miles and 1 track day from my last set of corsa’…

But i do ride it hard…

And a lot of london miles.

i ran supercorsa pro’s on the r1 got between 2000 -3000 miles two ring trips say.

on the sv650 around town diablo’s 4000-5000 out of a rear 7000 from the front

4000 miles with D207’s and 010’s on my old ZX6RJ2 and about the same with the diablo’s on my Daytona.

6k out of the rear Diablo. It was still going strong until I got a puncture
