04:38 pm | How many miles have you folks been getting on your Avons? I have 13K, ride one-up mostly, no trailer and run 43psi frt/46psi rear. Looks like I have more to go before they are at the limit. Just wondering how much you have gotten out of these and at what point do you replace them? At the wear-bars? |

06:41 am | John, you will find a variety of mileage figures for any tire you ask about on here. Some people run tires much further than others would trying to squeeze the most they can out of tires and others just will not take a chance on running a tire till it is in the danger zone. I myself remove a tire just as soon as it nears the wear bands. I have one(lucky) acquaintance that will run a tire on the rear until it shows cord and then change it. For your information tho, I routinely got around 12 to 13,000 miles out of the avons on my old 1500. as for the 1800, I ran only one set and got 10,000 miles out of it.

06:18 am | It has allot to do with the way you ride also. Smooth starts and easy riding will get more miles out of that tire. When I ran them I got about 13-15 out of a rear running it at 50 lbs. I ran 2 up with a trailer some times too.
