[fazer.rider]

hi im at 12,500kms (7,770 miles), how long did your stock tires last before changing? im thinking about switching to BT 021s front and back at 18,000kms (11,200 miles) mark.

I happen to know since I just had mine changed a couple of weeks ago. 13,400 miles (both front and rear). I think I could have pushed it longer, but I was anxious for new rubber!!

I got right at 10,000 miles out of mine before I changed out to the BT-016's. I could have gotten another 2,000 or so out of the 20's, but got a great deal on the 16's and couldn't wait to put them on!

18,000 miles :thumbup:

And yes, they still had tread on them, the only signs of wear were cupping.

 

[MRGM]

4500 miles till I was into the wear bars on the back tire, and the front was cupping badly as well. I do like to ride it hard...

7900 miles, down to the threads had to hitch a ride back to Chattanooga after the fz6 dragon meet. It must have been my aggressive riding through the mountains that did it in :rockon:

I'm on 5,600 miles. My rear has around 400 miles left before I have to replace it. Not that bad for me considering that I ride like I have to be at my destination a minute before I leave :thumbup:

WOW that is awesome!!! is it cuz you were riding very conservatively?

I've got 8200 miles and my front is very cupped and the back is past the wear indicators in the middle. I was thinking I was going to get some pilot road 2's, but I might try out some pilot powers.

 

[wildman]

I've got 5700 miles on mine. The rear is still in pretty good shape, but the front, not so much.....

I've got about 500-700 more miles in it, before my BT-16's arrive.

 

[OZXJR]

I got 22,000k's out of the front and 34,600 k's out of the rear !

 

[cv_rider]

About 9k miles, with mostly sedate riding. The rear's tread wear indicator was exposed, and the front was close to being exposed. I did do some emergency braking practice that often resulted in rear wheel skid, maybe that did my rears in.

Lots of commuting, long distance trips, very few canyon runs, just started doing more canyon riding.

 

[Texperkin]

Hmm. No real trend yet. Come on peoples. Post up those stats...

 

[npshultz]

I got 5200 on the rear, and about 10500 on the front.

 

[BranNwebster]

I have just about 5500 miles on them and the back has less than a thousand left the front seems like it could go for a lot longer. I'll probably change them both to 21's after I get back from Pennsylvania.

 

[buzzbomb]

My rear bt020 lasted 12,000kays, and the front 18,000kays. I replaced them with Pilot Roads and have put 12,000 on the rear, and it still has plenty of tread. It is squared off tho...

 

[DaveK]

You guys amaze me. I got 4k miles out the rear and it was below the wear bars, 6.5k front.

I must push too hard

 

[Kazpar]

Today had to change back tire at 14 500km (9062miles). Front tire still OK.

 

[TownsendsFJR1300]

5,000 miles and the back tire was close to the wear bars, the ft was wearing more on the left side (curvature of the road?) and beginning to cup....
