How many miles did you get with your original Pirelli's ?

I don't know if it's the high temperature in FL, but I've never seen tires wear like this. No reason why the rears should be in the condition they are. Looking at replacement tires now.

I think its the heat and what they put in the roads here, shell rock etc..

27k ish so far and the drive well and stick to the ground.. perhaps, I should check them reading this thread now :|

I got 20k on mine before i sold it. Would have been good for 30k at least I reckon.
I usually ran at 37 psi and it was garage kept when not on the road which I think makes a difference to minimize temperature change related wear.
On the leadfoot scale of 1-10 I would say I'm a 7.

It all depends how you drive. If you take it easy you can get 30k but that is about it.

[Rock-It Man]

I got over 50,000. But they were very noisy for the last 10,000 of that.

Anyway, they are not very good tires for other reasons, even though they are sticky. The steering feel was never good, and they wandered around on rutted and crowned roads.

I think I got 25K out of mine somehow considering how little everyone else gets out of them. Granted, they were nearly bald on the rear by that time lol

I got a second set when they were on clearance prices at TireRack. When these wear out I wont be going back to them

24,000 plus here. But I don't smoke them much.....the tread wear looks good and she still rides like new. Have them rotated side to side each oil change. I hope they last a bit longer, don't look forward to the cost of new ones.....Just checked....5/32" depth.

about 10k before threading started coming out. Only a small amount of burnouts, less than 5. Never again will i buy those

[=Stephens=]

These are the tires to get 50k

i just replaced my rears earlier this year an my fronts a couple months ago. i got 32,000 on the original rears but i pushed it a little too far should have changed at 30,000. and i got about 37,000 out of the fronts. yours look like they might be wearing more on the outside though it would be good to get them rotated.

I'm at 19k on mine so far, still looking good.

I'm just over 23k and the Pirellis still have tread left.

[Moto-Mojo]

I just did an AVERAGE of all who changed tires out to this point in the thread. 26,200 miles. I didn't write all the numbers down to get a median number. Probably about 22K.

I don't think I will be replacing them with the same, need something that gets more.

Over-inflated.

They should be wearing evenly.

If your tires go under-inflated or over inflated, you'll see increased wear. Don't use the gas station gauges as they are often wrong, get yourself a good digital gauge and keep it in the glove compartment. Even if you use a good air compressor with a gauge, check it with the digital gauge. And follow the recommendations for hot-cold, it makes a huge difference unless you're using nitrous fills.
