Watson© Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I would say 2... some how I don't go through a lot of tyres :unsure: ( touch wood ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Usually about 2/3 i'd say. Depends on the tyre though, i went through a Maxxis Minion ST in about 2.5 months, but my Michelin lasted me about 5 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) I change my bike more than i change tires. Edited March 11, 2005 by Davetrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Usually a pair a year on the trials bike. I've bought loads more tyres though, because I wanted to try different models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I usually change them when I want something new for my bike... It's stupid but true. If I don't see a new tyre I want, it's remarkable how long I can go with a bald tyre :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Prob 1 or 2 Although my front tire came from bike2002 and is still going strong :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonPace Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I replace the back one about 5 times a year. I only swap the front about twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I go through about 3 or 4 rear tyres and only 1 or 2 front ones, depending on which ones i get... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Not sure really havent been counting but a Minion ST lasts me 3 months tops so about 4 a year I guess. darn granite :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 because tioga's are amazing for life span! i had one for about 5 months and it still had another years worth of life left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 the tiogas are about as soft as a brick, hence the really bad grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
