How many miles do you get on your tires?

I've never gotten more than 4,000 miles out of any tire.

Original tires lasted the longest at 5466 miles, they always seem to when the bike is brand new.
Set #2 at 4594
Set #3 at 2036 - needed new ones for 5 days of track time (all within 8 days)

Up to this point I had always put the OEMs back on (Bridgestones), but for #4 they were no longer available. I stuck with Bridgestone but chose the BT014.

Set #4 at 1582 - another 4 days of straight track time

I tend to run lower pressures in them so I don't get as much life out. I'd rather have the grip and sacrifice some life. About once a year I get new tires. Thankfully I can get them pretty cheap. I do a bulk order with a group of friends/co-workers so we get a wholesale discount.

I usually get 5K out of the tires, either Dunlops or Avons. Good for the riding I do, lots of commuting, some road trips, and a few cornering rides.

I got about 11k out of my stock Suzuki Boulevard dunlops, but I won't try that again.
