Miles from a Fireblade rear tyre?

Shut yer whinging - I put a brand new set of Avon Viper Vp2 Sports on my Versys 2000 miles ago and they are damn near knackered now. The rear hasn't squared off and the front is almost on the wear bars all the way to the side of the tread. Strangely, the front has worn quicker than the rear, but I am quite hard on the brakes since I discovered that having ABS allows you to be extremely brave.

I think I like the 2CT's best, but there isnt much to choose between them and the Corsa III, the Corsa III is probably a little better in the wet as they give better feel, but I like the profile of the 2CT over the Corsa III.

Swopped my dunlop qualifiers for last year for pilots got 4500 out of both dunlops felt better all round,trying bridgestone 023s to see if they last longer.
Heard of someone getting 10000 with blade ???? how,not met him he's allways riding all weathers 200000 + on blade.

BT016s are fine for road and mild track. Nice and progressive on track when spinning up too.

BT003 race compounds are fantastic on track, but can be shabba'd after a weekend of track riding.

Road and mild track, thats what I'm after. Good job as I've got them on now (failed the MOT on the rear BT-014), so I'll report back once I've put some miles on them.
