Redman, motivated me to get some serious miles Saturday and Sunday. Sunday it was 28' when I left and 39' when I returned.

This Shinko is ready at 9K... Last road 5 was 12K miles or so. Putting another Road 5 on, didn't ride this morning with snow on the ground... Might grab a commander 3 next season as I hear they don't wear out.Jedz Moto

Our bikes weigh roughly the same and you ride at least as hard as I do. Likely harder. I'm at a loss. I like the tire, but it's expensive for only getting 5,000 miles.

My tires have lasted longer this year and I firmly believe it has everything to do with I'm basically doing 0% slab. All twisty back road riding. The 160 Road 5 from last year's was dead closer to 8K miles, included a trip to TN. This last 150/60 ZR17 Road 5 was 12K miles. I also found the bike is fairer to the tires if you leave the TC on. Most my riding is pleasure riding.
GBW I've experienced the Road 5's don't like the slab... I think the PR4GT last longer.Jedz Moto

I never tried the PR5's. I've been running the Pr4's for the last four tire changes. I'm consistently getting 12,000 miles out of them. However they start getting wonky at around 8-9,000 miles. I ride a lot of two lane with a little bit of slab mixed in...
I'm about 250 miles away from 16,000 miles for the year. Not nearly as much as the Jedzster, but not to bad for not going anywhere. Well, Indiana, Maine, Michigan and Tennessee. I didn't even cross the Mississippi River this year. The days are getting shorter, it's getting colder, I'm pretty much done riding for the year... Who knows what 2021 will bring? 😉My Motorcycles:
22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)
22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
79 1000e (all original)
82 850g (all original)
80 KZ 650F (needs restored)
