WTF? (tyres)

[steve_t]

by my calculations (which are perfect, obviously) that's about 6300kms. tyres should go more than that, shirley?

Got about 4-5000km from a set of BT-016 if I was lucky. We'll see how these Pirellis go

If its a directional tyre, I wouldn't recommend you turning it over.

Completely depends on the tyre.

Shortest life I've had was a rear at 1500km on a 1L sportsbike. Longest is 24,000km for a front on a Hornet 900. Your mileage will likely be somewhere within that.

Do you like Rights over lefts (I used to).


Frame bent.....

Left over right and under, right over left and under.

This dear folks, is a reef knot.

really.? delaminating the front isn't a bundle of laughs... who'd'a thunk...

well. it is. at about 6200.
i was hoping for somewhere nearer the 10k-24k mark. which brings me to my next question.
what tyre give me 24k?

i have no preference. that i've noticed. (as said, the rear has no bias) i'd prefer to drop my bike on the right, cos that's the magneto, the oil whooserwhatsit that keeps it where it should be is on the left...

what about the bunny, which jumps out the hole, runs around the tree, gets chased by the dog, shot by the farmer and cooked for... ahh fuckit.

((but can you tie a monkey's fist?))

Its naturaly going to wear more on the right than left due to road camber but that does look excessive. I had set of tyres that the front looked close to that at the end of its life just a little less tread on the left than yours. next set of tyres didnt do it that bad. Do you get your lunchtime kicks by going round and round roundabouts!!

[caspernz]

Try a car tyre

[Kickaha]

BT45 are a bit more sport orientated than some of the cross ply tyre range if you want better life try something like a Pirelli Route 66, I took mine off the XJ550 at 10,000km and they still had plenty left

[Madness]

shat manufacture? bearing going? turns out i'm a dick after all? ...something else?!?!

You did ask the question, Cunt.

[caspernz]

Here in the society we call Earth, real mileage is achieved by buying real tyres, quite simple innit?
