I just got mine, and have put a 1000 on them already. Very sticky, can lean you you wouldn't believe. Not sure how many miles I will get on them yet. But they aren't showing any wear yet.

i have them on mine. they were on there when i bought the bike. i've only been riding 4weeks now but i hear about how sticky these get and how low you can get into the turns. i tell you what.......call me a *****! hahahaha, even though i hear all this hype about them i still cant bring myself to lean that bike much more (i dont lean too far to begin with, haha). but there are 5900 miles on my bike. idk how long HE had them on there.

Ive got a good 4,000 to 5,000 miles on mine. In about another 1000 miles im going to need a new back tire. the sides look like they dont have any wear to them but the middle of the tire the grooves on the tire are starting to dissappear. those 5000 miles also come with some small burnouts here and there.

It really depends on the type of rider you are and how hard you ride. I only get a little over 3000miles on mine so Im looking at getting two sets, a set for around town riding (pilot roads) and then a set for the gap and twisties, the Powers.

depends how hard you press on them. average for any tire is 4-6k miles. burn outs. crappy roads and poor surfaces will push the scale more toward 4k miles if not less.

I think I've had mine for wayyy less, either that or I put on a lot more miles than I thought. I adjusted my chain a while back, but both sides aren't even, would that quicken the wear of the tire? It seems to be wearing a bit more towards the left than the right side.
