OlGeezer Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I just replaced both. The rear lasted only 66 days, even though I "got religeon" about air pressure and got more mileage on this tire than I have with any other Z6 I've used. Maybe I'll do better on the new ME880s. Maybe I'll even get 3 months. Link to comment
ahirsch Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I will be the first to ask .... How many miles??? Link to comment

But, since you asked, the tire had 8,305 miles on it, a personal best on a Z6 rear tire. Of course, I haven't ridden all week, so the 66 days is a "soft" number. BTW, that's 7 tires in the past 12 months and tire #22 and #23 for this bike. Yikes! Link to comment
breyfogle Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 The tyre business must be a good business to be in. What other consumer product could survive promising buyers that the more they pay the less time their product will last !! Link to comment
notacop Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Shucks, I only gots 2000 miles on a new BStone 021...had a nail then a plug failure. What we need is a good concrete high milage tire that rides well. And looks good in the rain ! Link to comment

That's one of the reasons I work in a bike shop. Get the tires cheap and mounted free Link to comment
