Tire Question

[tinboatcapt_imp]

Excellent Choice. I have been using PR's on my ST1100 for years and will put them on my CB when the time comes. PR's have demonstrated great traction, wet performance, and long wear. I have been getting 15 to over 17 thousand miles on each set. I started with a set of PR 3's, then 4's, now riding on a set of GT's.

I also have been running wider, lower profile PR's on the ST for the better performance.

Wow, is that typical mileage?

On my Harley I normally get 10,000km (6250 miles) on a back tire and 20,000km (12500 miles) on a front tire. Unless I do a lot of highway riding, then they last a bit longer.

I must say I like your numbers far better.

The ST weighs in at a little over 630 lbs wet. I suspect that is considerably lighter than the Harley. In addition, that is almost entirely highway miles. I went back and checked, I put a set of PR 2's on at 46K miles in 2009. A rear PR 3 at 58K miles (12K miles) in 2011. Later in 2011 I had to replace the front at 62K (14K miles).

In 2013 I replaced the Rear with another PR 3 at 73K (15.7K miles) and the front at 78K (15.6K miles).

In 2014 I needed to replace the rear tire while on a trip. The chip seal on Wyoming byways ate up the rear tire at 85K (11K miles).

In 2016 I replaced the front tire with a PR4 GT at 94K and somewhere along the line I have not been keeping tabs on the mileage I get with the PR4 GT's. But I plan on taking a 4K trip in June with the tires I have on the bike now with 105K on the bike's clock. There is an unknown number of miles on the PR4 GT's without digging through the shoe box of receipts.

Yeah. I love the Michelin Pilot Road line of tires.
