Re: Re: [ST] Tire mileage comparisons, how to

[garrysimmons@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Data Point: Bridgestone BT-020. Rear tire is fairly worn after 5500 miles (nearly flush with wearbar). Probably will replace after the HSTA rally in a couple weeks. Front BT-020 still holding up OK. 

I ride an even mix of commuting (sometimes slab, sometimes backroads) and weekend day trips (mostly backroads). Not especially fast or aggressive (think "the pace"). Wish I spent more time in the twisties to use more of the tread on the sides :-) Hopefully the HSTA rally in OH will cure that :-)

The Bridgestones seemed OK in the rain, the few times I've been in the rain.

Will replace the rear with another BT-020 shortly and consider other options (Avon, Metzler, etc), when the front/rear need to be replaced next season (hopefully about the same time).
