yep your tyres will square off with a lot of motorway miles.

Im doing 122 miles a day commute and about 100 of that is motorway mileage. cant remember how many miles exactly I got out of my z6s but my tyre consumption is quite high :oops: :)

awww bollux :cry: Never even thaught about that. 500 motorway miles on sat then 500 more on sunday... won't need to use my sidestand anymore :lol: and i was quite chuffed about how well i've managed to keep my tyres rounded aswell. i suppose since the motorways will be relatively empty i could just swerve across 3 lanes all the way down :roll:

i love new tyres they always go over so easy just after scrub in. thats when i had no chicken strips and the hero blobs would go down easy, but after comuting on the motorway say buh bye to decent turning in. try a mix of motorway and twisty.

lol im on autoroute now franticly trying to avoid the motor way lol

i think ill get the A38 down to tounton then il get on the motorway from taunton to exiter and then from exiter - newquey its all windeys! lol wel this is the plan ! lol

Motorways are boring anyway, nothing to look at but rows of speed cameras and open road for miles. if it wasn't for me wanting the most direct route i would take the twistys every time

yeap ive got all the lines on the front and im on the first one on the back but ive only done 20 miles on the rear ! amazing!

Is it is a one off journey? Cause if it is your tyres aren't going to square off too much after 150 odd miles I wouldn't have thought, if you were doing that evey week then or 100 motorway miles a day like Lynw then you tires will square off fairly quick. I personally would worry too much.

suzsv650 26-07-05 11:05 PM

no its just a one off we are going down newquey for the weekend **** up in all the clubs lol!
