Tire Wear

[Dozer1]

Just curious...What kinda mileage everyone's gettin outa their rear rubber? Admittedly, until my last one I'd only gotten about 2,500 at best. (Blame it on the burnouts) But this last one I did not a single burnout and still got only alittle over 8,000. Most of those 8 were fully loaded like pack mule but still seems alittle low. Also wonder whether the majority are still running Avons?

Thanks

I got 8k out of last , could have gotten 1500-2k I think out of it , but wanted the new tire on

Little over 8K on mine before changing. Most was 2-up w/touring bags on.
Could have gotten a few more miles out of it, but the flat area in the middle was starting to affect the handling.

got 2500 on my avon then went to the ME880 and got about 3000 on it and it still looks new so far

I got over 20k on my Avon rear. No burnouts but lots of holeshots. Wear is pretty even and the tire actually looks pretty good, but it's got a very slow leak. I'm changing my wheels but no matter what I'd be due for a new one this winter. No idea why mine lasted so long.

20,000 MILES!!!!! ON A BIKE TIRE?? IS THAT 20K "TRAILORED" MILES? WOW!!

I put 9930 on my last tire and that's pretty good... BD Tampa was impressed. I think you may have a world record!

ej :flag:

11k with 2 up most of the time and still got about 4/32 left on it. I'm hard on the twist grip most of the time too.

 

[BikersDream]

Wow!!!! I have so many customers who complain because of only getting 4 to 5 K miles out of a tire.


So many numbers here much higher than my customers get.


Someone should share the secrete!:2thumbs:


20K on a tire.:loony::roll::roll::lol::lol: Not

 

[superfly]

i have 11k on mine currently and it looks like I have another 5k easy. No burnouts just wheelies through 1st and 2nd all the time. (joke!!!)

I dont understand it I got almost 3K on mine,,, might get another 2K maybe on it,,, no burnouts, but love hole shots..super fly knows :lol::up:

I got around 15000 on my last tire Boys it all about tire pressure. I run around 30-35 lbs. in mine. Think about it if your runnen 42 lbs. it blows tire up more and less rubber on the gound and it wears faster :bang:

 

[Can-Dog1]

You guys are getting some wild milage out of your rear tires! I lucky to push 4000 out of the M880, but I do love those hole shots

 

[Vegas]

9500 miles and still have 6/32nds left measured as close to center as possible. I don't do a bunch of burnouts clearly. I enjoy the roll ons just as much. I always check my tires and run 42 psi.

 

[reddog]

GOT 4-32 LEFT ON MY 300,WITH 3560MILES ON IT NOT GOOD BUT WHAT THE HECK...BLAME IT ON THE TAR&GRAVEL ROADS I RIDE ON WHERE I LIVE IN THE HILLS OF NORTH GA.:flag:

 

[bushman]

just changed mine out with 19,700. No burnouts, just highway miles.

 

[Deadreckoning]

7200 miles on a 300, and believe me in the rain with no tread, that sux!

 

[fmschatz]

On the Avons, got 11,000 miles on the K-9 and have 9,000 miles on the Wolf. Still have good tread left.

 

[Raywood]

Seems the 300 for whatever reason just don't get the high mileage of the 250 tire.

I've been averaging 20,000 miles or better on my three so far except for one that only got 500 miles. Front last a lot longer. On second one now with about 67,000 miles on the bike.

 

[Mickeetwo]

8,000 on my first one and 10,000 on my front

 

[Throttle]

Interesting the choppers seem to always get twice to three times the Pitbull, Mastiff or Bulldog. I got 6,800 on the first tire and 4,600 the 2nd, maybe I can get another 1,000 miles. It is hard not too let rip everytime you ride or stop sign, red light, etc. It is just fxxking fun.
