Guess the mileage competition.
Here's a bit of fun.
Can you guess the mileage of my tyres from the pictures? Bike kerb weight is 227kg and lays down 190Nm of torque through the back tyre. There's even a tangible prize.. I will post the tyres free to the nearest guesser.. Not really.

Don't really see how that will help you, but it's a Zero SR/F with Bridgestone 023GT using 36psi each. At roughly latitude 52'5° North. All year round, all weather use on average to poor quality metaled roads.
Both tyres fitted at the same time. (Well, the same day!) All up weight would be no less than 307kg Yep! 190nm of torque on tap all the time instantly..

But I suspect you’re only posing the riddle ‘cos they’re at 18k…..

Nope, not a riddle. It's a straight question.
Both your numbers wrong btw. Thanks for having a go.

Nope, sorry.
Would you expect more than 8000 miles from a nearly half ton bike with more torque than a Hayabusa?

Nope. But closer to the original Rosso 111 pair that I changed because they just wouldn't grip in the British Winter. I binned those @ 4843.
It transpired that they were sourced from Pirelli's Brazilian factory and were "Hot Climate" spec which never had a snowball's of warming up here. (See what I did there. ) Nathan had to cut them off, they were like concrete!
