Not sure ... need to check my records ... seemed to go fast ... I tend to ride the Blast! more aggressively than I do the Goldwing ... Momma is usually on the 'Wing with me ... we get 20,000 on a set of E3 Dunlop 'Wing tires. The Blast! has accumulated around 11,000 miles ... the 'Wing is approaching 100,000 ... both are 2002 models. Blast! is my two-three mile commuter ... 'Wing often sees 10-100 days and has been from Maine to Montana. I think the Blast! tire might have 5-6 thousand on it ... |

Sounds a bit expensive for the MT75. BB usually has very good prices. Shop around first. |

I average about 5K on a rear MT75, and swap the front on every other rear change. |

ditto here with Ladybuell. Amazon is a good place to get tires for the Blast. |

The oversized Pirelli are giving better mileage and you can't beat the mileage of the st66 in the oversized. EZ |

Make sure they are still in business. I've ordered from them before with good results, but I read online that they may have shut down and your order goes nowhere. There were some other red flags but I don't remember what they were. But they were very often the best prices. |

FWIW Bike Bandit is a big supporter of the AMA. |

I don't know how you get 5K out of the MT75 (that's 8000km), I didn't even get 4000km out of mine. |

Normal. Average is maybe 3500 miles. 5000 miles is definitely amazing! |

Oversized it would not be. EZ |
