I found that once it starts to square, there is not a lot left, and it goes fast. Don't know if it's because o solid center section making it look like there is more or what.
Anyway... I got 2900 out of the first one, swapped it before my track day. Had some left, but not enough for the track IMO. Second one got 3200 out of, no cords showing, but was getting thin. Front lasted through both of them, and had a little left yet, but was getting really squared off.

Pilot Powers on there now, and they are wearing much better. Should easily get 5K out of them.

The diablos are the same way. No tread cutout in the center, so it's decieving. I thought I had a lot of miles left on the last set, but then I was seeing cords. Still got 5,000 miles on the rear.

Cut NtS out of the picture!

I'll get mine up later. Had to charge my battery. It died right before the GP race.

Love the STT...and if he likes his 'tard it's a similar rig.

Lightning 12 for around $5k or less. Something that won't be too much difference in value from the motard.
