Hiya, I am really glad I’ve found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish just about gossips and net and this is really frustrating. A good website with interesting content, this is what I need. Thank you for keeping this site, I’ll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not find it.

My god, you guys get 5000miles out of your tyres and you are complaining, I have a Yamaha XT660R (with road tires) and I dont feel I ride it that hard and I only got 1800 miles front and rear out of a set off Pirelli Dragons, every time I ride it I can see the tread dissapearing, even with my new set of Bridgestone Battlax tires, tire preasures are right. Just dont understand where they go?
Its odd with the front tire its not the middle that wears its the sides, middle still has lots of tread by the time I dispose of them, what am I doing wrong?

Is there a tire wear indicator? I’m running on Dunlop Elite 3 tires. 10,000 miles plus. Should I be working on replacements now?

It sounds more like you may have had the wheel turned slightly while using the brakes. That is the fastest way to lay a bike down while performing slow speed maneuvers.

Recently had an accident when riding a borrowed bike. The bike fell to the left after I tried to make a quick stop only going around 15mph. I found out after that the front tire was bald. Could this have caused the accident?

I put a new Dunlop on the back of my bike last year. The air pressure was right and I didn’t spin it. I only got 6,000 miles from it before it was bald. I was very disappointed in the wear. This year I will go with a better tire. I felt like I wasted my money with the last one.

I being the guy that wrote the article you refer to should clarify that the rear tire in question does still have some tread left, it is just very low, and I want fresh tires for spring. If I had to I suppose I could milk out another 3-5k out of them, thus making them 10k at replacement, but bald and in my opinion dangerous. Mind you my 5k is only an estimated mileage used on the rear, before I choose to replace it.

I do occasionally spin my rear at a stop light if the road is wet, and crossing painted white blocks for crosswalks, etc. It does let loose but I don’t sit there and do burn outs deliberately or anything like that. I just wish they would get more life that’s all.
