the ungeheuer tyre thread

[FIFO]

well, got my a nail in my Mich Pilot Road 2 a few weeks back...18,000k

Just swapped out my mich pilot road 2 yesterday
I thought i was doing well to get 12000klm out of my rear pilot road 2,  was just on the wear indicators and got a puncture 1000klm, ago plugged it and road on it for 1000klm ,
i could have got another 2000klm at least

Just replaced the rear with the same again, pilot power 2ct front though.

More info Spider ,was that a rear Tyre and how far was it worn down to the wear indicators or the steel belts

Are they expensive

    Mmick

Hey Mick i got my tyres from motosport USA $109 front  $154 rear $30 post had them in a week and $20per Tyre to have them fitted at my local bike shop  i just gave them the wheels only.
Worked out cost effective basically got the front Tyre for free,  if you bought here.

I put the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas on the Monster. The 180 looks skinny compared yhe Q2 that was on. I now get 10-15mm clearance from the chain. The Q2 rear barely gave me 5mm, a big 180 as we have discussed.

Now to see how they last...

Frasers have just fitted a pair of Pirelli Angel ST's.  They charged $430 for the pair and $103 for the fitting.  It is too soon to comment on the feel of them as they are still shiny and slippery.  I'm not sure I like the silly 'angel' logo, but it will wear off soon.

The BattLax's did 10272 km and probably had a bit left on them.

hmmm I got shafted, Northside charged me $650 for the same. Bit of an on the spot no thought about it purchase  .

I only got 2K on them still, enjoy them so far, so hopefully it wont be another year until i replace them. Then straight motorsport.com for newies me thinks!

Hey Spider, did you replace both tyres or just the rear?

Are they expensive??
                                           Mmick

both, yeah $550 I believe, however I got 18,000 out of the old ones....so I can't complain.

I feel like such a grandma!

Wear indicators were still there, belts of course were covered....I was on a ride with HCG once and he had the belts showing by the end....I was freakin out!

[monstermick58]

so...bought the new Road 3...same dry feel...but the grip in the wet is awesome. I'm deliberately run over steel tramtracks now and cannot get any slippage at all. The rain just doesn't seem to effect them.

My old Da just put a set of these on his Suzuki Bandit, he just came back from a 3 day run and ended up in some of the foulest weather (rain,fog, freezing cold, storm and tempest) and he said these tyres held up pretty good, even on dirt roads.

   I will see how they wear, gunna try and get a run on his bike too! Just so I can compare them to the original tyres that he had on his bike, they started to squirm a little coming off the turns up the Putty Rd so hopefully these will be a lot better, I think he paid around $550 plus fitting, makes that MotorSport mob in the States look pretty good. The total cost for these is $367:66 which includes shipping, I just noticed on their site that there is an additional $55 for the 'B' version for the 180/55 ZR - 17 I wonder what thats all about?

Ung ,I nedd a new one too but waiting until the sport attack 2 is available
in a month or so up here.
Same tyre but with the black chillie compund,fair bit of hype about its stickiness
although cant see how it could be any better, really like them .
Not huge distance looks like a will squeeze 7k out of my rear.
Just put a set of conti road attack 2 on the missus 695 they feel good

Maybe I need to ride the Monster harder cause I seem to get more k's out of mine.
