The only reason I got the Maxxis after the Conti-Forces is because I got a deal on them. I would have went with the Road Attacks then if I could have gotten them at what I could afford at the time. When I bought tires a couple of weeks ago, I knew I wanted to Road Attacks and started researching to see who had the better price. Ridedirect had the best price and had them to me in about 3 working days. Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.ridedirect.com/showProduc...=440&cat_id=42

So anyway, I average about 4500 out of Sport Tour tires and about 3000 out of sport tires, but it really depends on where and how hard I ride them. Just street riding I've gotten as much as 6K out of a set and as few as 700. Actually the cords were showing through at 735 miles on a front. I guess I was a little too hard on it. |

Any of you ever run the Shinko's?? I had them on my Kat when I first got it and I got around 2500 out of them and the PO said he had got somewhere around 2 on it already. I thougth that was pretty good. I ended up buying another set and I thought they did really well for the type riding that I do, and seemed to heat up fairly quick.
I was just looking at Bike Bandit and I could get a complete set for $170. I think that's awesome as if I were to bust one or what have you, I wouldn't be out much money and I could afford to have two sets of tires a year and still get more mileage than what most get at the same price for one set. I'm not a track rider and I don't totaly eat up the twisties, but I do need something to handle pretty well and I thought that these did. http://www.bikebandit.com/product/13854

one track day and about 2500 road miles on Metzler Racetech softs. The sides are shredded but the centers are pretty much untouched. I ride back and forth to work on the interstate mostly.

I have about 8800 miles on my Pilot Road 2 on the rear. It's only worn on the las 1/8" of the tire on the sides. The middle still has the mold release compound on it.
