Tourance V vs H Wear Rate

I've done 6000 miles on the 'V' Tourance on my 1150 and it'll need replaced soon. Don't think I'm hard on the throttle .. usually get at least 50mpg.
 
Just paid £119 for a rear a 'V' Tourance on Friday. I could have got one for £105 fitted but the guy came to my home after work so it was less hassle and saved lots of time. I had 7K out of the old tyre and there was 2 mm left :thumb Hope the new one lasts almost as long as I love the tyres :bow

You've been ripped dude! Mine were £129 for a pair fitted and balanced! Having said that I've been going to the same place for fifteen years and get a healthy discount....

They still wear out too quickly :(

My average for a rear is 6500.I must learn to be more sympathetic with the throttle :D :dabone :thumb

I'm with you on this,6000 ish for a rear and almost twice that for a front is my experience :rolleyes:

About 12 1/2 :nenau
Looks like 6500 from a rear is about the norm.

Actually, the fatties (sorry those with a traditional GSer build :D ) and those who regularly take pillions should get longer tyre life, as more weight over the back wheel means less tyre slippage, which means less wear.

There are many other factors though.

Eat more pies, and the money you spend on them, you'll save on the tyres you won't have to change as often :thumb
