After how many miles do u have to change your tires and what kind of tires would you sujest.

 

[Arai-ko]

it all depends on how you ride? how often you ride? and if you just ride straight?
put all that into factor and go from there...

so for me.. I ride pretty hard on the street (70%) of the time and the other is just taking in the scenery and nice and easy... I ride from April to November and put on about 8000KM a year... and straight (no way... toooooo boring) I try to hit some twistes as often as I could... have to wear down the sides thats what they are meant to be riden... so after all this I change my tires every season or at most a season and a half.

the tires I would choose in order are...
1. Michelin Pilots
2. Pirelle D/C
3. Metz 1 or 3
4. Bridgestone BT015

Pilot Powers. I ride 75% in the curves and have 3800 miles on the rear, 5000 on the front. They are great. Rear needs to be tossed soon. That 25% straight has made quite a flat spot in the middle.

I changed my last set after 11k miles, they were some Metz Z6's.

Im in the same boat. My rear tire is on the verge of being bald in the center but sides are good due to the "highway wear". In the morning on my way to work when my tires are cold, I get on the throttle in first my ass end breaks loose. Its this mostly because they are cold or the wear? Most of my riding is commuting to and from work. What tires would best suit me for my buck? I heard that Metzler makes a good tire for street riding/ commuting.

After my stocks i put on Metzler z6s.
I ride mostly on the street and freeway, so most of my mileage is in a straight line. I do however do ocassional twisties and ride pretty hard.

however form the reviews and advice ive gotton i figured z6 would get be the best mileage and still stick well enough for me in the turns. I haven't gone to the track so i dont need anything stickier im sure. and as natas said

changed my last set after 11k miles, they were some Metz Z6's.

thats probably like 3 times the miles you would get on any PPs or M3s
