9,000 miles on a rear tire? I don't think I've ever made it past 6,000.00. Are the Pilot's a hard / no so road sticky tire?
I got 9,771 miles out of the rear PR4. The rear PR3 made it to 10,716. Both front tires were over 16,000 miles.
I have just about 6000 miles on my set and am about to replace the rear. It is not quite at the wear bars but I am going on a long weekend trip and I do not want to risk it not making it. I am a little disappointed by the wear, was hoping for more life and it is quite squared off..
I do mostly 70mph commuting, that may be partially the problem...
Do the rears go from OK to cords in a blink (like the Met Z8), or is there a fair warning?
Good warning ahead of time, at least for me, with almost only freeway driving the center flattens out and you have squared edges well before the tire is done, the center was bald with grooves on both sides for around 3k miles before cord showed. I bought new tires when it got bald and was waiting for them to be completely shot out before changing to the new onesDo the rears go from OK to cords in a blink (like the Met Z8), or is there a fair warning?
They seem to go faster towards the end.

try using the front brake only. And make sure your tire is as close to perfectly aligned as possible I also run my tires between 40-42I am not really an aggressive rider, weigh around 190, only have a (mostly) empty top case. Why are mine wearing so quickly? Is it the concrete interstate I ride daily that makes them wear faster than on blacktop?
