I Seem To Only Get A Month Out Of My Rear Tires.no Burnouts Or Anything,just Wheelies.how Long Do You Guys Or Girls Get Out Of Your Rears?

 

if it's a new tire with no burnouts...nevermind. never gotten one of those.

 

I do burn outs and wheelies and I still have the factory tire of course I bought the bike July 1st... may need a new one soon

 

It depends on the tire. I used to run Metzeler M-1's and i averaged about 2500 - 3000 miles on them. No burnouts. Just highway wheelies and ****. I switched to a Metzeler ME-Z4 and i have about 5,500 miles on it and it's still in decent shape.

 

Low pressure tears tires up too! Especially on the road! (not in the lot)

i use whatever i find in the dumpster for rears so I'm pretty good at changing them now! Oh that and we usually blow AT LEAST one tire at every show (1-2 shows a weekend) so we get a lot of practice changing them there too... It's great watching the faces of the spectators as i change a blown tire in about 5 minutes... they are like, "It took the shop 2 ****IN DAYS! WTF!!!" AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHA

 

Always Used Rears With Nails In Them.whick I Plug Of Coarse.but Are Always In Decent Shape When I Get Them.maybe Its The Low Air Pressure I Run.usually Around 15-20 Psi.

 

I hear ya John, once you get used to changing tires, people watch and wonder why it take shops so long to do it. and they have the air powered machine to help them out!

 

I just got shinko sport touring 009 rear tires. They are awesome so far. Plenty of burnouts on them and you can't even tell. I'll never buy a different tire again. I got em for $65 shipped in July during some x-mas in july sale online.

 

metler about a week, no burn outs, no joke, dunlop about a month no burnouts and battle axe about a year with burnouts.

 

i used to buy bridgestone bt-12's for my zx-9r i had and they lasted 4000-5000 miles i didn't do burnouts but i did a hell of alot of wheelies!! oh and they grip like hell.

 

are metzler sport tecs any good?

 

I've put 8k on a micheline pilot sport rear with a couple of burnouts in there. It's about time to get a new one though but I'll make it last the rest of the season.
I just threw a new bridgestone 014 on the front, man that thing is sticky, I love it.

 

in my opinion metzlers are the best if you dont mind the short wear time. that battleaxe last forever but if you do burnouts it gets greasy and wont grip, its a *****

 

i need sumthin that will last a LOOOOOOOONG time and i need it to grip great

whats the best tire for grip to wear ratio?

 

I get about 2 years out of a tire at ~25 psi

unless I let one of my stupid friends try my bike and he lets all the air out, tries right circles for a whole day and ****s up the tire right there.
