[QUOTE="feejerbkb, post: 1432285, member: 90668"] 15k on a set of Michelin PR4. I had bad front wheel bearings which caused some cupping and then at 80+ MPH, the front wheel was bouncing. Mid-way through the tire life I got the bearings replaced and balance checked but didn't take the dealers suggestion to also replace the tire. Only when I deemed the tires sufficiently used up did I replace them and then the bouncing stopped. Lesson learned there. Currently have 8k on a set of Avon Spirit ST and really like them but I doubt they'll go the distance the PR4 did. Careful rev matching/clutch work when shifting and lighter acceleration/ braking can really extend tire life. I know...not any fun at all. [/QUOTE]
