Mileage estimates:
AVON Storm-ST Front: 12.000 Km / Rear: 8.500 Km
Bridgestone BT021 Front: 19.000 Km / Rear: 9.500 Km
Continental Road Attack Front: 21.000 Km / Rear: 8.000 Km
Dunlop Sportmax D220ST Front: 18.000 Km / Rear: 8.500 Km
Metzeler Roadtec Z6 Front: 13.000 Km / Rear: 13.000 Km (*)
Michelin Pilot Road 2 Front: 22.500 Km / Rear: 12.000 Km
Pirelli Diablo Strada Front: 16.000 Km / Rear: 12.000 Km
(*) no real estimation, because there's no tread channel in the middle of the rear wheel
All values above are forward projected on the basis of the experienced rubber wastage during testdriving (5.000 Km).
WulDee: well, thanks a lot for the results! I will definitely go into 2-compound tire. Which bike was used for the testing?
Hi Martin,
the long distance measures for all tires have been made on a Triumph Sprint ST.
Actually, they used seven bikes.
Just changed the Tyres on my 2007 Bulldog for Michelin Pilot Road 2, The Original Metzelers lasted for about 8000Kms. VERY Impressed with the Pilot Road 2's. Grip, Feel & Handling in my opinion far better than the Metzelers. The Tyre Fitter suggested that I could get upto twice the distance from the Road 2's Will keep you posted. VERY Happy so far.
Best Regards
