I found out it has alot to do with your speed. If you ride over 100 a lot of the time the rubber seems like it falls off. I have the same problem. If I ride down the e-way for 5-10 minutes doing 100+ stop and look at your tire and then u will see why it wears so fast. **** just peels off

I am lucky to get 1500 out of a set, so anything over 2K I consider bonus milage!
Thats not right, Id have to get new tires every other week if this happened to me.
I found straight line riding wears them really fast. Gotta use the whole tire, get rid of themchicken strips. Lots more tread on the sides.

thanks for all the input everyone.

well, i dont ride around doing 100+, i DID make a 2.5hr ride each way to DE last weekend and it was mostly ALL straight open road cruising at around 80mph. and yeah *hangs head*, i've got lots of tread on the SIDES.

I have Qualifier's on my bike. I just had to get a new rear because the one that was on there didn't even have 300ish miles on it and was already showing the cords! I like hitting the twistys but still, thats f**ked up. Dunlop appologized numerous times...replaced the tire, and sent me a bunch of stickers<haha. Although I love the Q's, I've really been thinking about getting the 2CT's once I go through this set of Q's.
