nybryan Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Pilot road 2ct. 3100 miles on the set and they are going away fast rear tire center 2mm tread depth sides 3mm. The front is showing 3mm across. Bridgestone 020 bmw spec lastest 4k miles but stick sucked Whats next. under 4 thousand miles for a set of tires is going to get expensive if i put pilot powers think they will go away significantly faster Thoughts and suggestions for tires welcome thanks bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 016 Bridgestones which are duel compound seem to be lasting pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicholy Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 6693 miles on Pirelli Diablos 'till threads are showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXSIVSPD Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Anybody try the Bridgestone BT023s yet? Or the 023 GT Spec rear with an 016 front? Thinking about trying that combo. If they aren't similar enough in profile, I may just try a Michelin Pilot or Pure front with a PR2 rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicholy Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm going with PR2 for my next set. Just have to save up the cashola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybryan Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 also any feed back about the pirelli angel regular and e version and the pr2ct bmw spec tire for higher mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John01XX Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I just put a set of the new Angels on but haven't had much time to put many miles on them yet. I have always loved the Road II's and gotten at least 6000 miles on a rear with doing NeXXT and a track day on them. My only concern with the new Angels is the stickyness in the twisties ! Not sure they will instill the confidence that the Road II's always have for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I been running BT016's (my first time ever running bridgestones) and love them and are truly the best tire I have ever used. Rear is triple compound and the front is dual compound. Never felt a hiccup with them and will replace my current ones with them again. As for longevity and tire life I normally get about 3000 to 3500 miles out of a set of tires. Think I will get almost 4000 or more with the BT016's, I expected them to be toast after WVXXT but went for another couple hundred mile ride a week later and still have another 500 or so miles left on them.

rideonXX Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 On the Bird my last two sets have been the Pirelli Diablo front/Strada rear---now have the Angel but no miles on it as I hit a Turkey Buzzard and front end is off for service and upgrades.....but---on my ST1300 I have the PR2 and have been disappointed compared to the previous set which was Avon Storms. The Storms were the best tires I have had on that bike in 56.9K miles and I ride pretty aggressivly. Needed tires and the Storms were not available in the window I needed so went with the PR2---next time---back to the Storms. For what it's worth------happy trails, kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALCXX Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Just mounted my second set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso's. They don't last very long but they damn sure handle good!! Kel. I just read that you hit a buzzard. I did too in 05. Wow, I have a buzzard bro!! I hit mine on 89 near Lassen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para045 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I'm averaging ~10 000km out of the last 3 PR2 rears and it's the edges (specifically about 2/3 of the way between the centre and the outer edge of the tyre) rather than the centres like on the old PR's that are wearing out 1st The one PR2 front lasted ~15 000km before getting to the wear bars but I preferred the quicker handling of the PP so was going to go back to them, unfortunately no one had stock so I'm trying a PPure ATM :icon_think: Only done a few thousand km's so no real idea on wear but feedback seems similar to the PP and handling is probably just a fraction slower but much faster than the PR2 :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolf Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 what about the Metzler Roadtec z6 ? Any feedback on those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Guys on the Concours 14 board are getting 10,000 to 16,000 miles out of the PR2's. I just put a set on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybryan Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 I have a set of angels now mounted and have run them a few hundred miles. They seem to take more input to turn them in as the have a more liner shape to them. The biggest thing I have noticed so far is that I have much more tire left on the edge of the tire for the same lean angles. No issues with them yet. Time will show more about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANKSXXX Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Little late here but, I look at cost per mile as well as feel and handling. The Pilot Powers come out best for me. They have a great feel, are very confidence inspiring, and are readily available at discount pricing. I get about 4500 miles per set and buy them from JakeWilson.com for about $180.00 delivered. That's for a 120/190 combo. Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardCranium Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Metzeler M3 have been excellent. I lost track of where I put down the mileage I installed them but I think 4500 miles out of a rear would be about the max. I have managed to run over something with both of the rears Ive had before they were worn out. Still on the same front. They seem to be very sticky. I'm probably either going back with another set or going to try out the PR2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testrider Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm on my 1st set of Michelin pilot road and I now have 10000 miles on them and they look like they still have another 2-3k to go. They are not touching the wear bars yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
