Tires
How much mileage do you get from a rear on yout tl? It seems my tlr eats tires significantly quicker than my gsxr 750 did. Also how close do you usally run them to the wear bars? Till they are even? Down a little lower? Before they show even with tread? I usually switch just before they start showing even with tread should I keep em la little longer?2001 B/W Tiller- Full M4 Carbon, PCII, K&N, Galfer Lines, -1 Countershaft, Speedohealer, Undertail, Integrator, Pyramid Hugger, And Various other Sh*tTags: None

If you have ever seen how little material there is once the threads start showing...that should be enough not to make you ride on it.
I always change mine wayyyyy before threads show. I don't run out and change it as soon as I hit the wear bar...but I would estimate 1/2 of the wear bar is about as much as I would push it.
Don't forget...if it is mainly the centre that is worn...it will not handle as well eitherBe good, and if you can't be good...be really, REALLY bad!!

I do, the tires just starting to get good and sticky
For real though ill run mine almost to the point the tread pattern is gone. Ill buy a new set at the wear bar though. Never know when ill decide to do a long ride and need a switch the night prior.
Of course I buy 4 sets with my taxes every year too. So I usually only need maybe 1 set if I do ALOT of riding by winter

Have a friend that a Dunlop dealer and he has stated a few times to his Dunlop Rep. that the mileage on the 208's is inconsistant. Youll range from 2K to closer to 5K and not do anything different.
Try a set of BT010 next youll love them. They are the best street tire Ive ever ran. I cant imagine it getting much better.

i got 4700 miles out of my rear m1 sportec on my tls..... around 6k on mez4's and a busa goes throuh diablo rears at 3500 miles.... no burnouts either guys.... so, i will remain true to my sportecs... glad my rear tire will last this riding season! after next week, both the rear m1 and the weather will be non ridable...

Wow, those are outstanding numbers. Are those yours or did you pull that from thier site?
a lot of wet weather riding for a starters, few highway miles, and a lot of city-trashing! and i don't WOT her all the time in first and second, that helps too
mind you, the BT020 is no sticky tyre, it slides all over the place, but hey, i like it that way
i was really worried about the mileage on the TLS versus my former SVS, but it's not far off really...

Not even 2000 miles on the 010's, no burnouts, only hard riding. Still have some tread left in the middle, but the tire wears damn quick at lean angles!
Got the same mileage out of my Supercorsa SC2 as I did out of a set of 010's. And they're way softer than the BT.
One thing for certain though. TL's love chowing tyres!`99 TLR - 2 into 1 60mm Ti Yoshi headers with custom can, Cams, Flowed, Skimmed, Custom airbox, K&N, Silverline TLRR kit, Motostyle sliders, Powerbronze Double Bubble Screen, Harris Grips, Bitubo rear shock, adjustable rearsets.
