Default Re: How many miles from a rear tyre ???

Big question is how much tread is left on it.

Default Re: How many miles from a rear tyre ???

I have Mitcheln PR 2 on my bike, dual compound.

They have done 8700 so far, I should get at least 10 000 miles out of the rear, if not more. I would say it has 3-4mm on the back, but I can't sure without proper tyre gauge but they are fine.

PR2 FTW!

6000 ish commuting
1000 ish 'playing'
2500 ish motorway use

Still about 1mm from the wear indicators but it picked up a puncture, seemed like a good time to get it swapped out.

Highly reccomend one again.
