Don't stop when it gets square, change it when it looks like a car tyre! Use as much of the side as possible in the spring/summer/autumn so that you can use the centre in the winter. Also in winter the wear drops drastically as the constant layer of water stops the tyre from making contact with the road! Push the front harder to save rear wear so they wear at the same rate, replace only when the centre is bald and the shoulders 1mm in the summer when it's not raining (2mm shoulder 1mm centre if it's wet!) That should be good for 14K with a pillion and loaded top box for a few thousand miles. And be smooth and fast, not ragged and fast. Works for me anyway! Be interesting to see the effect a restrictor has on this too!
