[shawnski]

hey guys that is the longest i have ever gone without changing tires in any bikes i have ever owned and still good. maybe a little flat spot in middle but i bought set a month ago thought i am going to need it but looks like i might make it for another 1k miles.still handles well.
i bought the same kind since they have been real good tires!

That's great mileage on a rear tire.

 

[GoAWOL]

doing pretty good. I got approx 7500 out of my stock rear but I do ride like a Grandpa

 

[tegbusa]

I wonder why i only got 2500 out of mine

WOW, I haven't gotten above 2k miles without changing them. Maybe your not twisting your right hand enough.

no drag racing but i twist it all the way in every gear!

i have been really keep in up with tire pressure in this bike i check it each week and adjust and i think that has helped alot. i put about 35 cold tires.

I would have gotten more than 6000 out of my first stock tire. I changed it out early because of a long road trip. I highly recommend the BT016 if you like the stock tires. Think super sticky tires that should get roughly the same mileage.

Great deal! It's amazing how many miles you can get out of a tire if you keep the profile nice and round.

Congrats, bro!

My tires has 1400 miles on it and it still look like new.

 

[HillbillyTom]

Looks like you've done pretty good.
I keep up with my air pressures too. But 5000 is about all I can get out of a ST rear, or a front for that matter. Full sport tires, 3500 max.

I woulda beat ya with 7200 if it weren't for a freaking NAIL!

[Busa Jules]

uh.. yup! (and I'm a straightliner and proud of it!)

My speed is for the track (and that Shinko Ultra Soft doesn't care if there isn't any tread left!)
