Rear tire life?
I have an 06 R1, bought it brand new, I just turned 8,000 miles on it. I now need a new tire for the rear and thought the stock dunlop lasted so long I might as well get the same tire. Maybe someone knows of a different tire they could recommend based on their own experience? Also I was wonder if anyone has gotten more than 8,000 miles off a rear tire? If so what brand was it? Keep in mind I dont do any burnouts .

lol, well the first 1000 was a break in period, i never took the bike over 6000 RPM for the first 1000 miles. The tire is worn fairly evenly, of course the center is worn a little more than the sides. I do ride fairly mellow because of the traffic, but when given the right conditions I'v been known to open it up, I have had the bike up to 175 MPH coming back from Daytona.

To get 8000 miles out of a sport tire is very unusual. You might want to try a sport touring tire if your wanting a tire that gets some milage.
FYI: Because someone is light on the throttle doesnt make them a squid.
