I have a set of BT45's atm, and done 5500km's. I am going to upgrade tyre quality and get some alpha 10's, how much am I throwing away?

I have not hit wear indicators, but have nothing to compare them to.

I am also curious to see how many k's everyone gets out of their different tyres. Post em up please

BT45's should last for ages. That said, its all about your riding style and speed, isnt it?

Got about 60k clicks out of pilot activs including a giant fuckoff burnout at GP.

Expecting about 100k out of the arrowstax.

I get about 2 maybe 3 days (80 laps) out of a pair of supercorsas...

I've done 10 thousand ks on my BT45s and still got some tread left. Just a bit over 2mm above the indicators.

Roughly 33 seconds.

[dayeve]

He was lucky it wasnt a steel belted tire. But i wouldnt have smoked it if it was.

about 14000k on the rear bt -014's now, will be needing a new one soon. Might get another 2000ks

 

[smiley_666]

i had an alpha10 obn the DRZ that lasted 2000kms. lol

 

[jlyall]

Anyone please comment on time they get out of either Michelin Pilot Power and Pirelli Sport Demons.

 

[mat_p]

wow, didn't realise this was an older thread
I'm hoping to get atleast 12,000km's from my Sport Demons going off what the guy at the tyre shop said...

Had my SDs for 5-6k and they dont look like they've even started wearing yet :S

i done dont know about ks but i had stax on for well over a year and done a 40min trip along a motorway each way to work. pretty long lasting i think but they were pretty fkd by the time i changed them.

i think dogalous has had his on since the beginning of time, and still going lol.

Just saw on Sydney City they're selling Pilot Road 2's with the 150 rear for $480 a set fitted... Sounds good, but will it really be worth the extra $180 over the Sport Demons?

Thoughts people? For the Repsol(+ the decals say Michelin,(read: kidding))

 

[Reaper]

if they arent actually sponsoring you who cares... are you looking to win trophys for an exact replica?[hr]
sport demons are great but all i have to compare them with is aroowmax's...

 

[Aduro]

They SHIT on arrows reaper. Not jsut in terms of stickyness but profile, much sharper tip in.

from what i've experience the micheleins will be a fair bit better than the P-SD's. they are not a bad tyre but still a touring tyre not really a sports tyre. are they worth an extra $180? up to you, but to me good tyres are a must have. nothing worse than being grip limited on average tyres.

Yeah tell me about it, when I had them fitted I was like holy shit! for the first couple of turns lol
so this is what its meant to be like... Ooohhhhh
