I only get about 4k out of a rear on either of my bikes. Actually 4k is good for the ZX-14, i have gotten as little as 2700 miles on the rear.

Man, that is INSANE. You must spend a fortune on rubber!

Yes, especially when you ride as much as I do.

I think Fred's right. I don't bother taking my twisty route to work when it's been raining the night before as the road gets way too slimy with leaf debris and the road stays wet for half the next day.

Instead I spend an hour on the highway each way. During the nightly monsoonal weather during Feb I went on the highway for about 3 weeks straight. Noticed the sudden wearing of my tyres straight away. The seemed to be much happier when they were going around the twisties.

I like reading your posts with my horrible Auzzie accent, makes them tons of fun. Your Z6's work well in the rain or on wet roads. Why take the highway and add time when you can take your route a bit slower?

A rear tire per oil change, eh Zepp?

G'day cobber. Glad to hear you're practicing your Aussie. Help you fit in if you come over for a visit!

My twisties are littered with leaves on a good day. On a rainy day (or after a stormy night) it's covered with leaves and sticks and sometimes branches. The road just isn't wet, it's slimy.

The Z6's are good. Very good. But not that good.

Can I stay at your place? WTF is a cobber?

Just a little bit of torque

Thank God someone agrees with me on that.

I wish we had more twisties around here... I ride 25 mile commutes on my Z6's, all on straight Oklahoma highway. I hate it. If I want to ride curves I have to go looking for them.

I put bt 16's on my kat's rear rim and im gonna have to use that up in the twisties, because im not wasting that tire on commuting

[Katana1100]

10 minutes if you smoke it! hahaha!!
i got 15K out of my last front and 8K off the rear.

[BelvedereAndTonic]

I got about 6000 miles off my last Z6's, but that's because 60% of my riding is in the twisties, and because I'm such a fat *** (equivalent to most people riding two-up)
