    Thanks for that votes guys, I can defnitely guarantee racking up the k's and also differeing surface conditions living in Northland, but also attending a number of track days.

    But seen as I can't vote for myself, i would also put in a vote for Gremlin with the amount of k's he does and also being such a intrepid writer in his blogs would give them a good honest review.

    Cheers G

    - the nominated riders agree to provide honest and objective reviews of the tyres on KB in different intervals (eg. brand new, 2,000km, 5,000km)

    Havent seen anyone nominated that will get 5tho from tyres yet.
    May need reports at 1k - 2k - 2.2k -2.3k.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    I have gotten 17,000 out of a set of PR2's and I have a set of PR3's on around 8k that are just waiting for winter to roll around again (which should also be good for another 5-10k depending on usage) so I can definitely get some good life out of tyres and thats going on the track also with the Road 3's.

    But depends on quality really.

    Indeed. I can't get more than 12k out of a PR2 rear and only 10k from a front.

    I'd like to nominate Sensei. He tends to test the rubber up to the limit.

    If I may be permitted to nominate two: Drew.
    If he hasn't done so already, it really is about time he had a matching set of tyres.

    im sure drew would give anyone his honest and unvarnished opinion to anyone that asked for it.

    also last time i saw him (a long time ago to be fair) he was riding like a mental.

    so thats two ticks?

    Yup... except these are sports tyres, so won't fit the BMW, which is a 19" front, 17" rear. If he timed it right however, I could probably finish the review in a month (if the tyres fitted obviously)

    You aggressive bugger. 24k from a PR2 on the Hornet front here, but the rear will probably only get 18-20k...
