I have no freakin' clue how people manage to go through tires so fast.
I shredded my rear Rosso II's in almost 2800 miles. 2009 hard as rocks Pirelli diablos? I took those out in 3500 and 4200 miles. That's general use street riding too. The tires all have serious cupping issues. It's the constant braking of street riding that wears them out so fast. Those old crusty diablos never slipped under power. So it can't be fearsome acceleration that's killing them.

Al a decent front makes the bike have a much more confident feel about it. I was way happier with just a bt45 up front and rear. That squirmy vague feel really goes away with a good racing profile radial front tire.
