Tires

I am on the wear markers on my rear tyre so looking to change - will go with the scorpion Sync again on the rear until the front is gone and might try a set of BT020's when the front goes - How are you getting on with them Gary?

A quick Question on the Front Scorpion Sync mine looks healthy worn almost to the edges (Mmmm) the side of the tyre is on the wear marker but the centre is well above the markers - As I never saw these tyres new do the sides come on the marker and once the centre is on the marker too is that time to change?

I currently have 5,260 KM (3268 miles) on the clock... probably got another 100 or 150 miles on the rear before canavas...
 
Had 4000 kilometers on my Pirellis, then opted for Metzeler Roadtecs for a 8000 km trip. Just to be on the safe side. Got the impression that the Metzelers are better in wet (and cold) conditions. No real offroading done, btw. They look splendid after 8000 kilometers. I also thought they are a bit smoother on long motorway rides. ;)
 
Hi Gang

Bloody hell lads what are you doin' with them there Tyres?

I got 6000 miles from the rear, only changing 'cause it was squaring a little.
Front is on just over 7000 and will last a while yet.

Now I am the proverbial fat bastard occasionally 2 up.
Keeping to the A & B roads of Derbyshire and Shrops which to say the least are a little crappy and uneven.

So to need new tyres after less than 4000 miles, either you are a fatter bastard than me:) or drive on flint roads:laugh:

On a more serious note I am quite please with the OEM Pirellis, they ride and last well in all weathers on a heavy powerful bike.
