If you ride conservatively and keep tire pressure at 40 psi you may see 6/7k miles from the rear Stone. Your front Stone should deliver between 12/15k miles and that depends on keeping the pressure at 39/40 psi. If you run the recommended 36 psi on the front you can expect serious "cupping" at approximately 3k miles. Once it starts it's there to stay Where and how you ride will have a major impact on tire wear
I've got over 10k on my tires and I do not ride conservatively, I have plenty of life left on both tires. I'd guess I'll get 15K out of them.
Expect 10k
I must agree with SpeeyWho on this. I am very close to 10k miles on mine now, and my tires still look good. The front looks great, and the rear is showing some wear in the center, but that is expected.
I predict that I will take these off somewhere in the 14k to 15k miles range.
While I love the very good handling of the 'stones...there is a 93.14159 % chance that I will be installing Dunlops next, for the higher mileage aspect. I can generally pull 17k to 20k out of a set of 'lops...and like SpeedyWho, I do NOT ride conservatively.
Speedy & Miles: What inflation pressures are you running?
And....which lops??? No Avon Cobra's..they stick like glue!!!

Steve, I will be running the NEW E-3's with Multi-tread technology. Harder rubber in the center, softer rubber on the outer.
No Avons for me. Some folks like them, but I do not get the mileage I want from them.
"Speedy & Miles: What inflation pressures are you running?".......Greg, I am running 40/40
Miles you are correct...with Avons the mileage is not so good... but they sure hold the road!!! Myself like others will be following your lead.....
You coming to Franklin ???
