The only problem I have is that my cash is all tied up till September. My current rear tyre is a little worn in the centre and the tread Guide is running flush with the tyre, (will try a show on pic) how long would you say i have left or would you say it's best not to ride it

Looks like you're down to the wear indicators (those knobles in the tread) so I would replace when I could, the last few mm goes much faster than the rest! But they're not going to give out on you overnight, so replace when you can. I've done 2200 miles on my Road Pilots 3's since March and unless you're really pushing it they're fine, and you'll be amazed how far you can get over in the wet with them. I only use road pilots but others disagree, up to you.

Would you say that I would get another couple of hundred miles out of them if I ride sensibly and not push then hard, I know you can give me a definitive answer. Your personal experience is all I ask.

You should get a couple more hundred as long as you take it easy.

I bet there is some spare tread on the edges. Just do corners.

Those Dunlops don't last. Our Sons only lasted a year (4000 miles) on his Fazer.
I use Avon Storm 2 Ultras and as they are sports touring tyres they will last for much longer. 3 years 6000 miles and they still have plenty of life left in them. |

When I got the bike in April it had around 4800miles on the clock I would say without looking I've added around 1000 to that with the assumption they are the original tyres from new as the bike is just under two years old. for me I don't know if that's good or bad tyre wear.
What are you guys currently getting from your before they need replacing?? |

The Pilot Road 3's get a good review on MCN.
I don't think the original Dunlops are any good, always a feeling of about to crash in the wet. |
