I like these tires alot, they are wearing really well so far. Let's see , I have 5500 miles on the tires and i am amazed at how much tread is left on the rear. i have ridden in rain ,some light snow ,and of course sunshine and they have never left me looking for better traction. I give them 2 thumbs up and will replace my current pair with the same tires when they eventually wear down. heres some pics.

SWEET! I have them on right now as well. Handles WAY BETTER than the Syncs did. I only have about 600 miles on mine, I am saving them for Arkansas in 4 weeks. I measured the tread depth on one of the center pockets at .250 deep new. At 600 miles I am at .220 deep. So for me thay should be a 5000 mile tire if all goes well but I believe we will kill it in Arkansas. Hope not. To and from and 2 days there is usually between 1600 and 1800 miles of riding in the 4 days.

Got 2500 from my V Strom on Pirelli Scorpion Trails, one trip to Pidgeion Forge and then Arkansas. All back roads sept for 300 miles of hyway. Rear was gone at 2500. The rear Sync on the Xb went 1900, out of spec for safty inspection, took it off at 2020 miles. So this looks good.

Whats your experiance/ milage with other tires on this same bike.
