What do people here get for mileage on their rear tire?
I've got about 10,000 km on my Michelin Pilot Street and the rear tire might not make it the entire season. It's on a CBR 125 so no, I'm not doing burn outs or anything crazy to it. It did wear a little flat in the middle after a 1000 mile ride, but there is no unusual wear pattern. It's sold as a front tire; tires in 100-80-17 are hard to find. Could this account for faster tire wear?
Is 15,000km decent mileage?
On a side note, since I'll be replacing the tire near the end of summer, does anyone have any experience with this m+s rated tire; Heidenau K66 4-Season Scooter Tire? I wonder if the softer compound will wear even faster. I do like to wander gravel roads sometimes, so it might be a superior tire in that regard.
The Street Pilot was only $64, so I can't complain there. I changed out the OEM tire because it was a little slippery, but I think that's because it is 9 years old. I can get that for $90 but no free shipping and it would be a 2 hour ride to go get. Any other brands I should look at?
