how many miles have you guys got from a set of tyres from an o6+ ST
I`m looking at a trip, but am reluctant to fit new tyres as theres plenty of life in them, most of the mileage I`ve done so far is solo, or with camping kit and OEM luggage

3700 - 4000 for the rear tire, um tyre, on terrible Pennsylvania roads. I replaced the first rear at about 3700 as I recall and put another of the original issue Bridgestone on. That's the last 'stone this bike will have on it.

Im at 3500 and i`m looking at a 1500 mile trip to france in 4 weeks time, which would co-inside with the service interval, once i`ve done the trip.
so I`m wondering if I should change before?

If it is close enough that you are wondering if you should change them - go ahead and change them. If for nothing more than your confidence level on your trip.

Enjoy your trip

I got 1500 miles out of my bridgestones because of a nail....but i was shocked at how quickly they were wearing...i figure i would have gotten rid of them around 3500 miles...compared to my new michelin pilots...they are junk...what a difference going to the pilots.
