Got 15,300 miles on the rear Evo-GT..........still running the front. Russ.
NO way. Could you have missed a rear tire change? I could imagine about half of that mileage...Got 15,300 miles on the rear Evo-GT..........still running the front. Russ.
That is over 2.5 times the life I have gotten out of mine based on average. Questionable.Got 15,300 miles on the rear Evo-GT
What ? Strewth ! Did you ever ride the BT020 F rated (OEM tyre) or the T30GT (before the Evo came out) - to compare the mileage. I'll tell you why - I get just 5,000 miles out of the rear BT020 F tyre. We are usually fully loaded and on the weight limit of the bike. We have rough tar and chipping roads here in Yorkshire.Got 15,300 miles on the rear Evo-GT..........still running the front. Russ.
If the EVO's are anything like the BT023 GT's, I'll see that mileage also. Think our road materials differs from yours maybe.Got 15,300 miles on the rear Evo-GT..........still running the front. Russ.
I got about 7,500km (about 4,650 miles) on last set of T30's and the T30 EVO's I'm running now look like they will have about the same life. I wonder if western roads are less hard on tires??.......... just came off of an 8000 mile trip and my tires look like they'll go another 5,000 miles. Our trip was a combination of quite a lot of twisties in AZ NM WY SD and in the east, GA TN and NC, lots of freeway riding at elevated speeds in between. The weather ranged from cold and rainy to hot and humid.
I was running new Dunlop Roadsmart 3's on my GSX1250FA, and my friend Corey was running new T30's on his ST1300. Both sets of tires look almost new after the trip. Needless to say we're both very happy with our respective tires.
Western roads are typically a lot harder on tires, with the rough surfaces and hot temperatures. That's why I was pretty surprised to get such good mileage out of them.I got about 7,500km (about 4,650 miles) on last set of T30's and the T30 EVO's I'm running now look like they will have about the same life.
