I was out for 100 mile blast yesterday and when I got home I could see the cord coming through the rear tyre Crying or Very sad

I now need a rear and front tyre that will last me just a bit longer. Has anyone used touring type tyres (020's etc) on their 600 ?

still beat the distance I got out of my Diablo Corsa rear tyre Laughing

Try the Pireli Diablo's thats what I went back to and they tend to last about 4-5000 miles and thats with some 'spirited' rides Very Happy

Did you have a Corsa on the front ?

I had a Diablo on the front and it held up really well and gave excelent grip and good feedback. I've still got the Diablo Corsa on the front which is good but too soft for the road and it needs to be kept at a high temp or it just feels off sometimes Confused

I've used Diablo's and am reasonably happy with them, had them on the R6 and the busa, although on the busa they only lasted 1500 miles.

I got 2500 miles from my 014 on a bandit 600!

Now done 1000 miles on 020's and they dont even look worn and I cannot notice any grip differance.

I got rid of my nasty Michelin Macadam rear and stuck a BT020 in its place.

Good, it is. Thumbs Up

Get a pair of Avon Vipers.

Superb grip in wet and dry, harder wearing than the BT01x's, and if you get a nail through it within 1mm of use, you get a free tyre!!!

I get 5000+ from a rear 010. These are the second set I'm having to get rid of because I've cooked the compound doing trackdays, rather than cos they're actually worn.

Got some Supercorsas going on at the weekend (scrubs), will see how long I can make these allegedly short-lived tyres last. Laughing
