Yep the 010's have finally got to the stage of replacement and I'm going to have a to go to another 010 front but an 020 rear, as I've got a 3000km trip late October (doing the Great ocean Road and the Australian GP) and they'll last till just before I do my next track day in December.

And that's both front and rear are well worn, (not good for damp and wet conditions, still oK for maybe 200kms more of dry weather)!, ie they are, well (bald?) into the wear marks on the outside of the tyre . I don't know about you guys, but a good profiled and well treaded tyre, does it for me.

After that I'll be trying the Sportec's for the track, as both tyres will be ready to swap out again.

All up I had 800kms touring, 300-400 of track kms, and around 700-800kms just doing the local scratcher roads.

Bloody twins and they're propensity for shredding the mid to outside of their tyres! I wouldn't have it any other way!. god I love corners and the drive a twin gives out of them!

Stay upright guys!

Enjoy Ex!!

Great to hear you'll be going to the GP - is that bike or (ssss) car?

If you only got 2000km from the BT010's (mostly riding the edges!) why not fit the Sportecs now? Can't do any worse mileage and the 020 might not suit your style and spit you off all the time
Then what!

Btw I luv my M-1's.

I've got about 1,000 miles on my 010's and there starting to look a little shagged...and yes, the rear is more worn than the front for all you doubters!
