That's where I stopped reading. They don't last more than 2,000 miles. So there. I'm getting a sense of deja vu here.


In other words, the mileage figures people throw around are nearly worthless. What kind of bike was it on? What is your riding style? Do you commute? Do you wheelie? What is the make up of the road surfaces? And maybe the largest variable, what do you or I call worn out?

I don't ride very much so I'm on Pilot Powers. If I rode more I would try the Pilot Road 3 if someone told me they turned much quicker than the Pilot Road 2's.

If you go with PP's or Q2's I can't imagine you'll go through less than two rears and a front per season. Unless your bike is a real garage queen.
