With some major variation in tyre life feedback from another topic.
I thought it might be good to get a broader picture. Which will hopefully be good info for us all. Obviousely climate and conditions will be a major factor, so take that in to account when comparing responses.

Please give tyre details & kms/miles.
I'll start.

Angel GT's 11,000 kms (6835 miles)




seth

Pirelli Angel gt's
I replace as pair's around 11-12,000 miles.
On Pirelli Angel st's
Used to get around 7-8,000miles.
Not used any other modern tyres for years .
:cheers:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact

220 € (set) incl. mounting & balancing

11000 km 2.2 mm profile left

Next one will likely be Michelin Road 5

ARH

Bridgestone T30 evos's - 5000 miles and they were done.

I guess its all subjective and down to how and where you ride, your bike set up etc etc etc....


T 24

I had two sets of Michelin PR 4:s, 16 000 km and 17 000 km.
Now I have Angel GT:s. We'll see.

Good idea @Sweaty . :onya:
Was thinking about such topic, after someone posted picture of rear his tire.

It will be also good to measure how much tire protector is still left (millimeters).

I know, it's depending of riding stile, but will give general understanding how long could different tires be used.

Will post my tire infi tomorrow.

3 sets of Michelin Pilot Road 4's 45000kms.
It amazes me when l look at the dead tyre stack at the bike shop how some really are riding on bald tyres. I change before that.
On 5's now.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Speedy1959

Michelin Pilot Road 4's 7,500 miles (12,000 km)

Irish in Oz

Pirelli Angel GT

9200 klms on side. I am going to guess 1100 klms on middle as it still had tread.
Better than I got out of ST. I will continue to fit Angels as I like them.

northern

Michelin PR4. 12650 km + few (really just few) burnouts.
Front have 1.9mm left, and rear 1.1-1.3mm left (center).

Next season (after the winter) I would definitely put new one. Most likely PR5.

4500 - 5000 miles out of my Conti motions, don't last that long but only cost £74 so works for me.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

@northern    Is that a 55 profile?   Just the pic looks very 'tall' not flatish like a 50.
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

@northern   Just another question, do you drive / ride on the left side of the road in Estonia or the right?   I don't know, but I'm picking Left side.  Down under we're all Left, but I know some European countries drive on right.

Most European countries do the right thing  :coffeescreen:

Only the island people have it twisted  :stir:
