Re: [ST] Tire Mileage

["Chris" <strizver@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got around 9K with my stock '00 ST tires. Or around there...I'm at 16K
right now and on my second set of tires. I'll replace the ones I have on
this summer, but not until a couple more thousand miles. I signed up for a
riding class at PIR at the end of June that requires 80% of tread and
figured that was a good time to just get new tires.

When I asked the dealer for advice on which tire I told him I wanted miles
more than stick. The way I figure it, even the "non-sticky" tires will
outride me in the twisties. In other words, if I get myself into a situation
where the stickiness of the tires is a factor, I've probably got a lot of
other problems. Could be wrong though.

Q: I feel I ride similarly to Ken (I have ridden a bit
with him),  How
do you
trash a tire in 3K on a Sprint ST? And no flames about
learning to ride
it right
please, I can turn a pretty good corner.

I don't know but I have never heard of anyone (else)
getting 9K miles out of any tire on any sportbike.
I'm jealous.  Are the New England roads paved with
gold?  ;^)
