Well, OK, don't look at it, I've not got any pictures. My Roadtec just fell apart. It was fine on friday, now it's got big rips across the surface round about a quarter of it. Only just hit the wear bars too...

That'd be... Lesse. Put it on 9500 miles ago, probably ran the Azaro for about 1000 miles and the 020 for a few hundred. That's not at all shabby, that... Off to put my other wheel on now, and I really can't be bothered :(

You only got 1000 out of an Azaro! Crap, I thought 4K was pushing mine. Mine's still within legal limits but the profile is poo so it feels odd but am riding around that OK for now. I do like this tyre though. :?

Someone has been doing burn outs :lol:

Yup, that's what mine did... Except it did it all over, not just in spots. Did a few burnouts today, it's the law, and big chunks of rubber started falling off everywhere it had those cracks. Looks like you got a wee bit more life out of yours though, mine still had a bit more tread when it went bad.

Oh, one moment... It occurs to me that this could read like I'm slagging it off- I'm not, it was absolutely ace.

You only got 1000 out of an Azaro!

Noooo, I bought a wheel that had a used Azaro on, rode it for 1000 miles while the other wheel was being powdercoated, then decided it was crap in the wet and got rid. Great in snow though :)

I been getting 10k+ on my Azaro ST rears and over 17k on my last front, I am more than satisfied with their wet performance, not as good as a Pirelli MT60R corsa but what is?

snow... IMHO they suck, but again, that's comparing them to the MT60Rs

I've got 10,500 kms on my Roadtech and I'm doing a track day with it this weekend! I'm going to keep a close eye on it after seeing those photos.

Just replaced the Diablo Stradas on the ZX6 after 11,500 miles of service mostly town and A-road with some B roads and the Lydden Track day. They were square but had not suffered any of the faults at the top.....

All my tyres look like that before I change them. That's the good thing about them Z6's. No tread pattern in the centre. :thumbsup: :lol:
