How much mileage from a tyre:

Eh up guys. I just got 600 miles out of a set of supercorsa's. F'kin awesome grip. Still got loads of tread in the middle. The new pro is supposed to be even grippier and last longer. roll on the spring so I can try em out.

BT014 = 1700 miles from the rear
BT010 = 3000miles
BT020 = 3500miles

For most riders on the road the 020 is plenty grippy enough. Having said if u plan to go on the track at all then put 014s on.

I would also like to hear from fast riders who have used both bridgestone and pirellis for a direct comparison????

I have used BT010 on mine, exactly the same mileage as a Diablo Corsa, infact the Diablo did about 500 miles more after a trip to wales.

The Diablo was better in the wet, could commit to corners with a lot more confidence. Also the Bridgestone used to spin up a lot in the wet and when it was cold, the Pirelli doesn't, so just feels a lot more inspiring.

Just try the Pirelli, you'll be surprised at the difference.

i'll certainly give them a try, doubt it will be on the triumph tho, once i've sold some of these bikes in me garage i'll try pirellis on the gixxer i'm gonna buy.

A mate of mine got 178,000 miles out of his Harley rear, Trago Mills Town & Country if I recall correctly. This is a true fact I promise.

178,000 at Harley speeds, does he live on the bike?

I went for a pair of BT-014 on the storm cos I was hoping to get decent milage out of them

As you say, two months later and about 1500 miles the rears fooked....lol

Gonna stick to 014 front, 020 rear until next summer anyway
