Looking for input about the life expectantcy of the Pilot Power tires. I just got a new set of Dymag rims for my REPSOL and put a new set of Pilots on them. They feel really gummy compared to the Diablo's and I was wondering what I can expect for life out of the Michelins. I will appreciate anyones info

 

i dont know the life b/c i sold my bike before i wore out the tires but i loved the way the tires handled for me i just bought a new bike and when these tires ware out i will deff. get a new set of pilot tires

 

how do you ride? fast and abusive ..shooting gaps between cars and leaning into every turn? or basic commute and necessary leans?

 

I get about 3000 miles from mine thats doin a lot of twisty roads but a bit of motorway work in between you can probably push 4k out ov em if you wanted to!!!!

 

I do basic riding 80% of the time. I have to keep my record clean for my job, so I don't get a chance to push the way I would like to. I don't do any track days,yet, but I do have a few twisty roads I hit, that I know are pretty clean and law free. I was just interested in tire life based on how sticky they feel. The first time I layed it in at my favorite curve I could feel a big difference in how the bike settled in and tracked. Thanks for the input!!

 

My friend has my old bike that I had mounted them on and they are really good tires! If you can keep the tire pressure up around 36 psi consistantly they will last. Those tires are going on 2500-3000 miles. Drop the pressure to about 32 psi for the real hard canyon ride just to have fun. I can't believe how well they grip even at 36 psi.
