First slip on the Bridgestones.

[DLIT]

I put 548 miles on my R6 before I put the PP's on it. I knew how good they were from having them on my '04. I replaced the stocks after 548 miles, not because they sucked, but because I knew how much the PP's rock.

I put 4k miles and 3 track days on my stock tires.

Now I've done a couple track days on the corsa IIIs and HOLY SHIT are those stock tires pieces of shit in comparison.

Although with the dual compound the softer outer compound is wearing pretty heavily though in comparison to the harder middle compound... I hope I can get some good mileage out of them.

If you get 4K miles, consider yourself extremely lucky.
3K on the rear with, front may last through another rear...
But i LOVE how they stick! Only had it step out once on the track, and I got WAY too happy with the throttle. Damn V-twins.

The PPs that you are use to warm up very quickly and don't take much to warm up. So you won't get slippage as easy. The bridgestones may take some hard miles to warm up to operation for twisties and such. I doubt you went beyond the tires ability, probably just didnt get to operating temp.

Cutty, Ceo has a 600, his bike doesn't spin the rear like yours bike will. You are just throttle happy with a much bigger motor.

He has the same size motor as his old Kawi. Ceo's bike will spin that motherfucker.

I know full well that I got throttle happy. Just saying that with a torquey Vtwin, I got about 3K street miles. With his 600, and track days thrown in, that's a realistic number to hit.

I forgot Trip was talkin to Cutty, my bad on that same size motor as his Kawi comment.

Yeah that was with the shitty stock tires which are a harder compound, and for the first few thousand miles I was still a new rider.

These tires (the corsa IIIs), based on the fact that they're seeing mostly track use, are not going to last 4k miles

Although maybe.... because if I rip the shit out of the edges with track days, and then ride a lot of street which takes care of the middle... I could really get the most possible out of them. Might be 4k.

The heat cycles will eat those tires up if you do that.

Now imagine how nice it will feel when you step up to a real tire, like say a Michelin Pilot Power?
