My 3k mile old BT016 rear is already down to cords
Figured I would go with something a little longer wearing (hopefully)
I'm in the same situation. I can't say enough good things about my BT016's, but I'm down to the wear bars on the rear at right around 5k and I'm finding myself feeling uneasy about riding a lot for fear of wearing them out before the season's over.
I've started reading threads on other tires that might last a bit longer (although I said if I got 6k out of the 16's I'd be happy). I got 10k out of the stock BT020's, and that spoiled me...lol. I never had any problems out of them either, though, so I'm thinking I'd be fine with more of a sport-touring tire than a strictly sport tire like the 16's.
