Default Tire Wear

How many miles/kilometers do you usually get out of your tires?

Right now i got about 4500 kilometers (2,796 miles)

I am not a very hard rider through corners. I still think my tire has alot of wear left.

About 3000 miles for the rear and double for the front on my 600.

The original Bridgestones on my 1400 lasted 8000 km. The rear was down on the warning bars, the front could have gone another 2000 km or so, but I replaced both with Conti RoadAttacks.

I went 7000 miles on the original Macadam 90s. They weren't totally shot, but I was planning a long trip. The rear was flat-spotted and the front was cupped pretty badly.
