TYRE LIFE!!

Got a new tyre on the 12 today and thought it might be a good idea to start a thread to see what sort of milage people are getting out of different brand tyres. It would also be good to mention your riding style and how often you hit the track. This should give people a rough idea of what to expect when making the decision as to which tyres to purchase next.

My last Shinko managed 11,000kms before wearing out. I'm a pretty tame rider and use the bike to commute every day. I occasionally hit the twisty stuff but not often enough

thats what you used to get before you bought a 12 !!!!

I am pretty happy with the Qualifiers, they have racked out about 5000k so far, and still work great. Mind you, those k's are mainly over winter, so it will be interesting to see how long they (don't) last when it warms up.....

Phil has had a set on his 9 & I think he has done a bit of a write up on them.
