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:
XTX/XTR: TYRE MAKE / MODEL: DATE FITTED: DATE REPLACED: TOTAL DURATION (in months hopefully): FRONT / REAR / BOTH / PRICE PAID (with or w/out fitting charge): BOUGHT FROM: TYPICAL RIDING (TOWN/MOTORWAY/COMMUTING/OFF ROAD): MILEAGE WHEN TYRE FITTED: FINAL MILEAGE AFTER TYRES ARE WORN: TOTAL MILEAGE OBTAINED: FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: In the unfortunate event of a non repairable puncture, please make a note of it in the final comments Darrel you go first Last edited by CaptMoto; 11-03-07 at 00:07. |

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

Question regarding tyres, I now need to change the rear on my xtx from the dragons that are on there.
Do I need to get specific motard tyres or can I fit anything thats 160/60 17 on the rear?
