how many miles? I got 15k out of my stock rubber. Just went to a 18x5.5 with a 180 metz and so far it is well worth it.
15k outta stock rubber? You'll get 30k out of a Metzler then. You must be real easy on the throttle. I got 5600 miles out of my stock rear. Put a Pirelli night dragon on and got 6k on it now with plenty to go. Of course I ride it like I stole it though.
Well, went back through my little book of records and receipts and it looks like I'm getting 10,500 on the Dunlops, I could probably get another 2k out of them but I had a front flat at 70 on the highway last summer and spooked me pretty good, so I am a little shy about pushing my luck.
I figure it just a matter of time for all the tire makers to start making the stock size, I'll wait and go Metzlers next time, although I wanted them this time pretty bad.
I'd ride it pretty hard, but I don't hot dog it a lot. I'm really happy with the bike, it's really been good to me.
