Tire Mileage

[the Ferret]

Here's one (BT-54):
But, speaking of bias ply tires, has anyone (on their CB1100) tried the BT-45, or newer BT-46??

I would say the BT-54 was a good tire. Not much complaint. Maybe a bit more squirrely on tar snakes than would like - but still manageable.

LOL that looks like the handiwork of some of our local road crews

Heh, yeah. Hard to believe they would bother doing that versus new pavement. Even a cage under slippery conditions might be challenged on the curves.

New to the Honda world with my 2014 CB1100. Loving the bike.

Bike has a little over 4,500 mi on the clock, tread on back pretty good, front getting down there, swapping out tires mainly because they're 8 yrs old, doing it for piece of mind.

I also ride Harleys, normal mileage on a front tire is 18 - 20,000 mi, back on a Dyna you'd get around 9,000, on a touring bike 18,000 give or take.

Going with the Battlax tires, what kind of mileage can I expect out of these?

Have you found BattleAx tires in OEM size? They are backordered everywhere I've looked.
