Tyre/Tire Wear Poll, How many miles do you get?

[Vinyle]

anybody on a tire bigger then the 180 stock size?
if so can you name the tire if you used stock rim
or rim if you changed that out?

i got around 5k + on stock bridgestone still on it
at a few over 6k trying to find a wider tire b4 upgrade

Welcome,
I have run 190's on my '04. It will slow steering a little but depending on the tyre it is not always that noticable.

There is no real benifit to fitting up a 190, I have had several and no longer bother.

There's not a lot of clearance on an 07 hugger - it "might" foul.....

G'day guys,
in response to the tyre poll,
:I ride a Sprint ST 2002
: have used pilot powers with approx 3000kms, Metzeler Z6 which unfortunately
started to shred the leading edge of the tread on the rear after a spirited ride with
2500kms on it, and lastly, Bridgestone 015 with about 3000kms on the rear and 3500kms on the front.
:usual riding is a little commuting and a fair bit of riding on country roads through our local hills.

All in all, I prefer the 015's over the others as they suit my riding style a bit better.

BUT the Z6 was also a fine tyre, until it decided to give up the ghost.

About 8k miles with Conti Road Attacks. That included a track day.

Another bump for the noobs or those who missed it

Not a noob, but I somehow missed this thread the first time around.

12,500 miles on the Conti Road Attacks on my 95 Sprint 900--mostly commuting with one long (2500 mile) trip to northern California and back.
I put a set of the Pilot Road 2's on the RS. They only have about 2000 miles on them so far, but are hardly showing any wear.

I was able to go 980 miles on the stock BT-020's and they're going to spend the rest of their days in the shed. They're better than nothing, but only barely...

[DaveM]

And once more with feeling those that missed it or are new.
