APCh8r Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I would suggest going with the powers or road 3's if you are doing a decent amount of city or highways. These will provide you with plenty of traction and will last longer compared to some of the softer compounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubguy85 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 If you're getting 8500 miles from a set of tires on an R1... then you should either count your blessings' date=' or ride harder.

drumbtzz Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 the current mileage is 8.5k, obviously they were not the first tires on it lol yammie would be stepping up their game if that were true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APCh8r Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 sry lol i dont type everything out clear sometimes lol, CURRENT total mileage on the bike itself is 8.5k and this is the second setThat is still damn good. I would suggest going with the Road 3's or Pilot Power over the 2CT. The 2CT will not last as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 ROADSMARTS!! Good mileage and good hook for aggressive street riding, havent tried trackworthiness but my big brute aint cuttin them up fast like it ate my BT's and Qualifiers - think I got 3.5k at most from the Qualifiers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I love my tri compound BT016 Battalax's..but I'm going through them like astroglide. I need something that will hook up like that but not kill my pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Dunlop... if you want a lot of miles,, I think they are called road smarts? or sportmax road sport...ROADSMARTS!! Good mileage and good hook for aggressive street riding, havent tried trackworthiness but my big brute aint cuttin them up fast like it ate my BT's and Qualifiers - think I got 3.5k at most from the Qualifiers They're amazing tires that will hook 100% and never breaks loose unless you're doing a burnout, but this crowd of street riders are sold on thinking they need race tires outside of a track. I've read these threads for years and came to that conclusion. It's a dead-end man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
