G'day all, my machine is running what i believe is a standard set of tyres, certainly here in Au, they are Bridgestone Exedra G709 Radial on the front and G704 on the rear.
The bike is coming up to its 12000 km service and i guess i've got about another 5000 km of rubber left on the back, in the past i've been very happy if i can reach 16 0r 17000 km out of a rear tyre. I ride like a geriatric so i guess i extract more than the average from my rubber.
Lately i've read a couple of disturbing (for me) reports from you guys in the US and to the North suggesting the riders have got upto 39-40000 (MILES) from their tyres.
Can this be correct? if it is, I'm coming over to your place to ride.
I would be interested to find out what is a reasonable milage and what is the preferred make of tyres you guys run.
