Dr Jon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Just curious, but how long do you turbo nutters get out of a back tyre? I'm guessing you must leave a line of black rubber behind you wherever you go, like a slug trail :-)) You probably all too busy laughing your heads off to give a shit how long your back tyre lasts, and anyway it's not like you'd ever need to buy a front tyre, don't touch the ground long enough to wear out, but I was just curious. Bet you can kill a good tyre in a 1000 miles of dry summer roads easy huh? If not, you should probably try a bit harder. Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I used this as my winter hack last year, 130 miles a day......some 'dicking about'....one rear tyre a month. 2 Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 you could probably make them last a lot longer....but boooooost is sooooooo addictive you just gotta' squeeze in one last fix before destination. Quote Link to comment
Fula28 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Baaaaa, tyre life really? Well as your asking chief I ran my turbo slabbie with new tyre and coverd like,1500 miles and still had plenty left ,210bhp yes they do muller the middle out but dual compounds help, Diablo coarse or and busa/zx14 type tyre will do. And so much so still have it and using it on my new mock up. Don't worry just smoke it baby. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 1500 miles !!! - a month !!! - luxury. When mapping mine on the dyno, the guy phones me up and says we need a new tyre - why says I thinking its punctured! Cos its melted says he ! ! ! LOL Brand new Bridgestone + 370hp + twin roller dyno = 2hrs life! Oh how we laughed! 1 Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I recon I was doing around 2500-3000 miles a month on the et...... ......you could easily wear out a rear tyre on a boosted bike a lot sooner......you could probably make one last a bit longer too. Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ...my old drawthrough was totally different....2 tanks of petrol to get to work and back and you could mulla' the rear tyre in a day....most fun Quote Link to comment
Dr Jon Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Haha, yeh reckon I that's what I expected to hear. Actually Vizman, if you're getting 3000 miled out of a back tyre you should be ashamed of yourself, must be riding in the rain or something keeping the rubber cool :-) Gixer1460....."melted on the dyno", hahafukinell, that's the way, that kudos is worth the price of a new back tyre any day of the week. My 1000RX broke the chain driving the flywheel on the dyno at the Builth Bike show once, classic. Mind you, the bike wasn't that powerful, his chain must have been on its last legs but still looked pretty good standing round telling everyone how my scabby mattblack scumbag bike just broke the dyno, ha.

Captain Chaos Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 200 km is quite good Quote Link to comment
