Blitz Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I bought a Conti Motion last year. Seems like I only have 4,000 miles or so on it and it's looking like I'll need a new one soon.I thought that specific tire wasn't too soft and would give me at least 6-8 thousand miles...

magley64 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 only tires I've had that lasted that long were pirelli diablo strada (8000), angel ST(7500), and I think the avon storms will run the distance, only a couple thousand on them so far though...Given, my bike is a little heavier, and a lot torquier than yours...

swingset Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 You can take the exact same tire on the same bike with two riders who weigh the same thing, and they'll have two different life spans on rear-tires.Your right hand and braking habits determine quite a lot. There's no "normal", just your experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_sv Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've pulled 10k out of a rear Pilot Road 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 agree swingset...I get ~8000 on the tires i listed, I got 2500 out of a dunflop Qualifier (a tire that didn't have enough grip for my taste anyway) and about 1500 out of a metzeler M3 (that gripped like glue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yes two people on the same bike with the same tire will get different wear on a tire. However, if you go to a forum specific to your bike and ask...you will get a ton of opinions and through that volume you will get a real good picture of what brand/combo works best on your ride.If you happen to have a Nomad 1600 the answer is Avon Cobra Venom's.

cOoTeR Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 4000 sounds about right.Get ahold of Hoblick he is one of the tire guys here who can get you set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've pulled 10k out of a rear Pilot Road 2I'd be happy to get 75% of that from the PR3's I'm going to put on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I got 12000 on my pr3s , it all depends on the type of riding your doing and how hard you push the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Road surface is a factor too. Most of us put at least half our miles in on the same roads pretty consistently. Those getting 10k might just be lucky enough to live near 'softwr' surfaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am lucky to see 4-5k out of a set of tires most seasons. Best results I've had under my bike were the Dunlop Roadsmarts - they wore in evenly, grabbed the corners very well, and took some abuse for quite a while before any obvious wear. I've recently bought a set of Q2's for my trackday/mile wheels that I'm dying to lean on to see how they perform and what they can tolerate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzer Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 10.5k out of a pilot road 1 on my fz, PR2 is wearing very well thus far, should get at least another 10k out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 if you get more than 4k out of a Conti-Motion you should be real happymy PR2's were well worth the money. Handle like a dream and with 4k now on them are just finally showing the slightest bit of wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 asking "how many miles will i get out of a tire" is just like asking "how long is a piece of string"...there are so many variables that its really impossible to say. how often do you ride? how hard do you ride? more freeway or more twisties? whats your road condition like? how abrasive is it? do you do track days? etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
