Last year my Hankook was pretty much gone at about 18k miles. I bought a Pirelli but didn't notice till I had it on that the centreline isn't in the centre. Doesn't seem to affect anything just looks a little off.
The tire works really well. It has amazing traction. I cannot make it slip anywhere. I also have the Pilot Activ bias on the front and it starts to fade before the rear. I like this Pirelli a lot better than the kook primarily because its narrower. Steering is also a lot lighter. It's narrower and fits in there with no grinding necessary. In fact there's close to one-quarter inch clearance between the tightest point on the swing arm. But really, really tough to put on the rim. I'm not sure how I'll get it off of there. Required no weight to balance.
New the tread depth was.340 in and at around 6500 miles the tread depth is .253in both at the centreline. According to my calculations, I should get around 25k miles out of it. Not much better mileage than the kook but a much better handling tire than the kook. If no better options show up when this one's rubbed off, I'll put one of these back on. (If I can get the old one off.)
