Yes, I can get 30-days out of Q3+. Got entire season ~50 days out of set of Alpha-13 couple years ago. What really kills tyres are too much trail-braking and skipping rear-tyre or sliding under braking. I find I get faster laptimes by braking less! Now I go flat-out in corners where I used to do massive braking and downshifting. I’ll post some tyre photos in other thread.

Oh I see kool regarding the 4.5 inch rear. Nice pick up!
Another reason to love these little bikes on the track, the tires last FOREVER! I have 20+ days on my Michelin RS on the 400. I am sure I can get another 10 days out of the rear and probably the rest of the season on the front. On my 750 I was getting maybe 6 to 10 days out of a rear tire. Depending on the tracks of course.
