i got around 9-10 k out of a front and rear. The front had a little life left in it, but i went and replaced as a pair. Ride all year round and use the motorway everyday.

Great tires, but i haven't experienced anything else, so that comment is a bit silly really.

Think the thou eats them for a light snack - rear was in good nick when I bought the bike 1500 miles ago.. Couldn't believe it when I saw it last night.

The final result: 8150 miles.
This was on an '03 SV1000, I was surprised how well they lasted - living in town they do a lot of upright commuting, and they lasted great.

What are you lot doing wrong?

Done around 1600 on my recently fitted RA, still nice and round, very slightly grained which is nice.. do a fair bit of commuting as well...just the occasional back road thrash.

Oh forgot. I'm expecting around 8k..

Had mine probably about 7K and still looking very good. But only motorway commuting really.
