Default How many miles y'all gettin from the rubbers?

I was curious to see how many miles y'all are getting from a set of tires front and rear.

It appears that I will get right at 3000-3500 out of the back tire and perhaps double that on the front. I have been riding hard, and it doesn't help that these ZR rated tires could be pulled off and chewed as gum. Good thing in the twisties I suppose.....

I am currently using Battleaxe's as its the only thing I can find a 16" front in. Would love to find something that handles well, even if a little less, but will give me more mileage.

Found parts411, any other good online tire spot?

Track tires? Maybe two track days on the rear (Approx 300 miles) and 4 from the front.

Dunlop Qualifiers? Both are toast in about 1000 miles. (the set on the bike right now is about gone with 800 miles on them.)

Pilot Powers? I can get about 2K out of these.

On the stock Dunlop 20... whatevers I have 8500 miles and I can still go a lot more I think. I just have a nice flat worn spot in the center of the tire from a lot of freeway riding.

I got about 4,000 on my stock rear tire. Replaced the rear with a Qualifier. Got 4,000 miles from that tire, now I have new front & rear Qualifiers and LOVING them. (and I do put the bike through it's paces.)

I like to keep my rubbers on all the time...You know just in case... Hey it could happen...ive gotten 12k on my front from when i bought it ooops...It needs to be replaced, but ive gone through 4 tires in about 10 months from nails etc.. this is the first tire ive gotten to 4k miles and it slides a bit im thinking about switching to some new ones in a month or 2
