You knew what you were getting into when you bought that bike.

Thats close to what I'm running right now. If I only get 2k out of them, I'm going back to regular Pilot Power. I had almost 5k on those...and they are good for a couple more.

best anyone on badweb has gotten was 6K... and that was in the cold and sandy roads, so a lot of slow riding.

average seems to be around 2- 2.5K for the rear. about 3 for the front

I may try pumping them up a bit for the commuting.

like 38R 35F or so...
