Well I can now safely say these are an awesome tyre! Legally the tyre finished at close to 8,000km but because I am lazy and rode all weekend I manged to see it to 9,000km where the steel belt was just starting to show. I can not fault these tyres in terms of grip up until about 7,000km on the rear. They leave some awesome blackies out of corners too :twisted:

at 9,000km the front probably still had another 500km or so left in it. Just put another pair on today, but I would be interested to see what people are getting out of racetech's!

I have been running a Racetech Front with an M3 rear for the last 30,000 or so klms. The M3 has impressed me as with you, in the grip and life stakes. But I chucked a K2 Racetech on last time, have currently done over 10K on it (easy k's though Paz, not too many ride the front rides, mostly loaded up touring at about 6/10ths). I reckon it is good for 12k normal, and maybe 9-10K fanging on the roads. My last Rennsport front did 8K before the belts were hanging out the sides. But this racetech K2 really impresses me. I am throwing another on the front this change (unless I use some secret weapon tyres for the Super Dupers thanks for asking ride!) :wink:

Thats a lot better milage then I got out of my Rennsports & Racetechs Paz, how much a set were they again ?.

i'll be fitting a new set in 2 weeks for Super Doopers Trip. At this point it'll be the Bridgie 002's $330 fitted but if the M3 aren't much more i may whack a set on instead.

If mad mick isn't too far away from you then I would see him as I am sure he would be cheaper, but I got the set for $475 fitted.

Noticing that you're from "The Shire" JP, I thought it may be pushing the friendship to say Islam! :lol:
