| Zone Head Joined: Jan 2007 From: Lake Osghetto, OR I Ride: whenever I can |  I've been buying the wrong tires!!! I've been buying the wrong tires this whole time!!!  I didn't know there were tires that you could get this much mileage out of. These came off a stock R6 even! Someone grab these! http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/mcy/1403429196.html Last edited by SpeedGeek; 10-02-2009 at 03:43 PM.. |

I'd say the Pilot Roads are good for about 60k. Even more if you put a nice protective coat of varnish over the tread.  |

Maybe the extra "0" was a typo? Hey, he would know more than us "street squids" - he removed them to put on racing slicks.  | |

| Superbiker  Joined: Oct 2007 From: SE Portland I Ride: '04 Z1000 '76 KZ900 | CL AD has been edited and is no longer humorous... "NEW TIRES off R6 2008 Bridgestone - $175 (Tualatin) Brand new Bridgestone Battlax tires I rode the bike home and put racing slicks on it. These still have all the nubbs on them." Cut 'n paste the original text next time. |

 huh?i still got this Brand new Bridgestone Battlax tires I rode the bike home and put racing slicks on it. These still have all the nubbs on them I can show you the bike they came off of it still has less that 50 miles on it. Don't buy soft worn out race tires get brand new that will last 20k on the street. | |

| Zone Head Joined: Jan 2007 From: Lake Osghetto, OR I Ride: whenever I can | I'll cut n paste the ad next time. blueline15 must have the original page cached so that's why he still sees the original. 20K on stock tires... I gotta get away from the "soft race tires" (don't tell the CL poster, but race tires are typically HARDER than street tires at room temp... they are made to run at higher temps and THEN they get sticky ) |

| Training Wheels Joined: Aug 2008 From: vancouver to beaverton I Ride: naked in the rain! sv650 | i got 6400 out of conti road attack rear switched to michelin pilot roads hoping to get a bit more outta them. note: mighta got a wee bit more out of the conti rear but i like to get a feel for wet weather conditions which either ends up in a small rolling burnout or a wheely. or once an embarassing lowside in front of school bus... ps never gas er too much in the rain around a cornor. |

| Endorsed Joined: Jul 2009 From: Vancouver, WA I Ride: '96 KZ1000P | I've got approximately 10K on my tires. Front still has lots of tread, back has squared off a little bit due to mostly commuting miles but still plenty of tread there too. Is that really so uncommon? |

| Newbie Joined: Aug 2009 From: vancouver, wa I Ride: '02 Yamaha YZF-R1 | I've got a little over 6k on my BT0-016's and the threads are just starting to show on the rear, and it's at the wear bars on the front. I definately wouldn't say that i take it easy on the tires. Seems like everybody's gettin alot less, is that really that high of a number? |

| Pit Crew Joined: Aug 2009 From: joplin, MO to pdx I Ride: 03 R1 | ive got 16s and id have to say they have gotten about 2000 and they almost goners.. it all depends on how you ride them i guess.. and if you do trackdays and the types of roads you enjoy. im talking more about sportbike tires not getting much not hds.. ive only ridden on hypersport type tires but ill probably slow it down a bit and jump on a touring set or something.. everybody seems to like the pilot roads |

| Moderator Joined: May 2007 From: the Westside I Ride: only on the center of my tire. | The linked article says they're new tires and don't mention mileage. Ohhh, wait... this is another case of someone posting up a potential CL funny but not copying/pasting the original ad so the rest of the world misses it. Nice job.  |

EDIT* actually i dont think this is the exact copy. i think there was mention of them being the stock R6 tires he took off of his bike. but this is enough you can get the point of this guys infinite wisdom Last edited by blueline15; 10-04-2009 at 10:12 AM.. | |

| Pit Crew Joined: Apr 2009 From: Portland, OR I Ride: 2007 KTM Super Duke | I put on a set of Dunlop Roadsmarts last Tuesday. I've done 1k miles in the last week, and they show effectively no wear yet. I've read about guys getting 7-10k out of a rear which would rock, but I mainly got them for their wet grip, which from what I have experienced seems very good. |

| MotoGP Champion Joined: Apr 2006 From: Eeeveruutt I Ride: the bike that I am allowed to ride.. I dont own one... <-----Fail | Damn... I do well to get 2500 out of a set of skins and 2k is usually a LOT closer to what i actually get... I would be afraid to ride on a 25000 mile sportbike tire if it existed... That shit would wash out so fast in a hard corner...  |

See ya missed the important part.. He let them sit on the shelf for 5 or 6 years so they got nice and hard.. Hard tire = more miles right? | |
