Author Message   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Saturday, July 15, 2006 - 11:17 pm:        After you hit the wear bars on your Scorpions how long did it take you to hit the cord? The reason I ask is that I have hit my wear bars and want to pull another 500 miles out of them. Later, Bart   Old_man Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 12:11 am:        How many miles do you have on them now? I'm putting them on my bike now. I'd like to get an ideal of what I might expect.   Tunes Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 12:12 am:        Based on past experience, the tires would be bald (no tread and quite slippery) after the 500 miles. In the past, that has been enough to scare me into new tires.   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 12:43 am:        I have about 7500 on them. They have held up well and I have no complaints but my next tire will be either a continental Road Attack or a Michelin Pilot Road just to see if I can get 11-12k out of a rear tire.   Ctyxrnr Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 12:45 am:        i got about 5500 before i replaced it (rear) still had a little tread left. but i play it safe on bike tires. wear bars i look really fast for new tires. i got 10k out of the front.   Ctyxrnr Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 12:49 am:        i replaced my scorpions with the conti road attacks and absolutely love them. and no you will not get 11k out of the rear Conti. i got just over 6k on the rear (no burn-outs).   Sinatra Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 05:23 am:        i got 8900 out of my stockers, quite a bit less on my second set....riding a little more agressive now......so i think i will get less on the third set.......   Darkducati Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 10:04 am:        I got 6500 on my syncs. But I got three words for you, Michelin Pilot Powers. Stupid grip and incredible feedback. As far as I'm concerned there is no other choice.   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 11:22 pm:        Ctyxmr: What did you get out of your scorpions? The reason I ask is that I hit the 8k marker for the rear today but the tire is now trash. So I am hoping I can improve mileage and grip by going to the Conti's Later, Bart   Terminator Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 11:57 pm:        I managed 5k before replacing, and then it was real squared off!!!!!!!   Statik Posted on Monday, July 17, 2006 - 01:22 am:        squared off, you need to go around some turns :P my rear is just a lil passed the wear bars, has 4850 miles on it. the front looks new with 4850 on it.   Grimel Posted on Monday, July 17, 2006 - 02:43 am:        Two places one does NOT skimp on bikes - tires and brakes. It's not worth it to try for an extra 500 miles.
