Hi all, I have just been giving the Enfield the once over. I was suprised to see its going to need another new rear tyre. This one has only lasted about 2500 miles. The tyre is a mitas 08 . So how many miles are you getting to a rear tyre?

Avon Roadriders on all the Enfields, and only 4000 max rear, 6000 front. Softer compounds, better grip, compromise is more regular changing. I always remind myself the only thing between me and the unforgiving Tarmac are the tyres so I never penny pinch.

When I think about what is between me and the tarmac, I like to include the seat. Makes it all seem nicer somehow.





But yes, tyres very important and Tornado's front is looking a little low on the tread...

The 2000 Bullet gets about 25000kms from both Avon tyres.

Leon, in australia theres not as many corners as in uk, better tyre life.

Hi Davie. Running a rear Mitas E08 on my Guzzi. Very soft compound, M&S mud and snow designated tire. The tread has nearly disappeared in the middle, and bike is starting to slip whilst navigating bends. I shall have to replace it as soon as possible. 3500 miles.

Got an advisory on the rear roadrider last year, 3000 miles..

Now trying a pair of K70's..

So 3-4K seems about average..

Some 2000+miles on the RoadRiders with even wear, nowhere near shot yet. Occasionally less wet grip than I'd like, so I'm considering Avon Trail Riders which are M&S. I've got M&S Contis on the car, they do make a difference.



Mitas are Czech/Slovenian aka Savatech. They make forklift tyres. I would not expect good wear. Slightly confused - the Mitas E-08 is shown as a summer tyre.

Sorry chaps, can someone explain. I didn't know Marks&Spencer did tyres.

It's either the opposite of of S&M
or it's Mud & Snow
