how many miles are u getting from your tyres ?

iv had my xb12ss for a few months now , i got it with nearly new bridgestone bt20s and iv done 645 miles and iv killed them !

iv got 2 harleys and iv run avon venoms on both for a few years and they realy suit the hogs , they have good grip and seem to get good miles out of them

i know the venoms work well on them but not sure if they will work well on the buell

whats recomend ? i ride the bike hard and like lots of grip as i like to get my knees down

Keen el dude You need a throttle limiter you does!

I get more than 10 times that much, so I don't think that anything I write here will be relevant!!

I've you've got grippy tyres and ride hard you're unlikely to get more than 2500 miles per set, whatever they are

Still using the standard fitment on the Ulysses. Pirrelli diablo strada. 4700 miles from the rear and about 8000 from the front. Such a good tyre for the bike that I can't see any reason to try any thing else.

Got 6000 out of my rear diablo (it was square after 3000 roz & trough to the canvas when changed) like to get my moneys worth

Got 1500 miles out of my rear Diablo, and I am a gentle rider! I replaced it with a Road Pilot 2, which was still going strong after 4500 miles.

looks like iv done well to kill the tyres in so little mileage !

i though that the bt20s were quite a hard tyre , my missis has them on here monster and got 3 years from them

looking at maxxi supermaxx sport , designed for the occasional track day, and aggressive street rider sounds like me !

Continental Road Attack also look good

as the buell is only a toy and isnt used that much i dont need mega mileage tyres but would like more than 650 miles

I can recommend the Conti Road Attacks.

I have got 7,000 miles out of a pair on a Triumph Tiger. At that mileage they did have a bit more tread but the back had squared off.

I must admit to being horrified that you got so little mileage out of your tyres. Were they correctly inflated? Maybe I ride like a wuss but I think that I've never had less than 4,000 miles out of a tyre and that was a Dunlop fitted to the Blackbird: I did sell that bike because it was looking like I was due some gaol time for the speed that I regularly rode at.
