Now replaced with Michelin Road 2, just home it lasts a little longer than this one did.

ps. i do check my tread depth, this tyre had over 1mm at the start of the day.

If you were riding hard enough to take out 1mm+ of tread in a single day from the middle of the tyre you were definitely riding to hard for a tyre in that condition to start with....luck was on your side. Buy a lottery ticket quick!

My bike requires me to go up and down all five gears to get too and from 70mph. On each gear shift it seems to slip and skip so i recon this is whats worn it out too fast. Also coming into corners i found dropping it in a gear that was a little low locked the rear end up which probably contributed to the fast deterioration.

If worst came to worst at least it would have made a cool youtube clip as i was wearing a go pro

Always doing my best to save the country money. Time wasted is money wasted.

You certainly got full value out of the tyre.....

Not true, garage said there was at least 5 miles left when i pulled up.

New tyre photo just to prove i am not a complete idiot.

Michelin have a deal with most garages this month that they pay for fitting and on some tyres even give you £25 cash back if you send them a copy of the receipt

You can't see the belts all the way round on the old one, what are you made of money? :smt102

Re: My tyre had negative tread after the good weather on Sunday
 

need to be paying £206 for a set of the above. I recon my fuel cost to tyre ratio cost is gonna be quite close this year.

What would the law have to say about the tyre if i got pulled?
