Member's tyre life
 
Just had this idea to compare what we all get out of our tyres in terms of mileage and life, this should be helpful to new buyers when deciding what new tyres to get. So I have prepared a template to use, just cut and paste it in a post in this thread once the tyres are on and then come back to it when your tyre's are knackered to write down the mileage and other comments:

Jimbob don't forget to return to this thread when you fit the next set of tyre, I suppose by now you have an idea of what to try next, as you've said there is nothing wrong with the handling and grip of the original pirelli in the dry, but they do have rather a short life and square off at 500 miles. cheers

new ones due any day,after many years of commited pirelli use i have decided to try a bit of the opposition mainly down to cost.one of the reasons the xt was bought was to try to keep the costs of owning a bike down a bit but still maintain the fun factor.(and keep me licence) but at 1500 miles a rear i think thants a bit silly..and expensive.anyway ive gone for a set of metzler rennsports at �125 the pair .any opinions on them so we know what to expect greatly appreciated and will update as soon as as they have been mildly abused.

FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: ON MY 4TH SET, CAN'T KNOCK THEM FOR QUALITY, DURABILITY, GRIP, CONFIDENCE, LOOK

Right, I have got a special discount from Essential Rubber, on the promise I would address more clients to them, if they will have at least 10 clients from XT660.com from now til the end of the year, the 10% discount I've got today will be extended to all riders from this forum.

FWR quoted me �173 fitted for both Avon Distanzia, Essential Rubber instead quoted me �160 fitted, however you won't believe this but when I got there today I picked up a nail on my rear (worn) tyre and arrived right outside the shop when my tyre got flat :D how lucky was that?

So.... after a bit of negotiation I told the owner about XT660.com and the amount of London riders in the forum and he gave me an extra 10% discount which would have been �141, but because my rear was punctured he had to give me a new tube too so in the end I paid an extra �2.99 for the tube :D :wav:

So guys anyone from London who will use Essential Rubber or has already used please send me a copy of your receipt, when I get 10 of these I will go back to Mick and let him sign the deal black on white. You can't beat that bargain

CaptMoto 17-05-07 00:17

P.s.: Although I didn't fill a previous similar form I have kept record of the mileage I've got out of the previous worn tyres, and the back one I've fitted at 21.659 miles and replaced at 25833 = 4174 miles while..... wait for it..


The Avon I had on the front was not a Distanzia but an Azaro ProXtreme Rain and that lasted me about 9500 miles, i.e. it outlived 3 of my rear tyres!!

Superb!!:thumbsup:

tyres
 
I love the look of the avon,but still feel the tread looks fairly rugged compared to the pirelli. So the point im getting at is ... Noise . Nobody has commented on noise level of any of the described tyres. Is this because there is no noise, or knobody bothered, or everyones blasting around with no baffles in exhaust so cant hear anything !!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE !!!
Standard pirellis fitted from new, with mileage now at 1600. Rear probably got another 200 left, front still pukka.

CaptMoto 02-09-07 22:25

there is no extra noise coming from the Avon's! They might look rugged but the contour of the casing profile it's still perfectly round, they are not off road knobblies. :laughing11:

ManicMic 03-09-07 00:13

Avon Distanzias are more a road tyre than an off road tyre. If you know someone who has some then give them a squeeze. They are a supamoto tyre and very soft and sticky. They heat up very quickly and you can give them full beans on full tilt and they won't slip (in the dry that is). They are also very good in wet conditions and they will last you alot longer than the original Pirelli Dragons as well.

Norton 03-09-07 11:50

no noise, just better corners

1 Pirelli corsa rear. �110 fitted........ didn't get on with this tyre about lasted about 3 months.
1 pair Coniforce SMs �150 fitted loose wheel. Rear lasted about 2 months front still on.

FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: In fairness the front tyre had plenty of tread left but the rear was totally squared off and on the leagal UK limit of 1.6mm. The rear tyre should really have been replaced at 1400 miles but I had trouble getting my new tyres (Avon Distanzias). Overall a poor tyre, grips well in the dry but not that great in the wet. Once squared off I had a wobble like symptom in high speed corners due to the squaring. The real dissapointing thing is the high wear rate. I would not buy these tyres if I were in the market to replace a set.
