What is the wear like on your stock set of tires after this mileage? It sounds like you've changed them early just to determine what difference it would make with performance.
Interesting to see how this will play as more V4 riders leave feedback and we see a pattern.I replaced the tires because I smoked them. Well at least the rear tire ... it had the steel belting in the tires center exposed so I it was time. I spend 469.00 bucks on a new set . I replaced them with the same pirelli tires that came on the bike . I wanted to put a fresh front in as well but I suppose I could have kept using the front tire . But again , the rear was toasted . I guess I just ride aggressively as I expected a little bit more rear tire life as well... my conclusion Leeds me to believe that this panigale v4 just eats tires ....
All the riding I have done has been on the road with zero track days . I would say I ride the bike aggressively..... I wouldn’t think anymore aggressive than anyone else who would buy a bike like this but ? Maybe I got just a bad set Of tires ....If you're riding at track speeds cruising at 140mph on the streets, and getting 3k miles on any tires how can you complain... at the track that's like an entire season for some people. Yes tire wear should be dependent on riding style, conditions and such... I'm sure you could shred these or any tires at the track over a weekend on this bike if you wanted to. If you're shredding Angel GTs then that should give some baseline to others on riding style; and whether their tire wear would be equivalent. So for some reference on my CBR600RR Dunlop Q3s would last me just over 4k miles (not the Q3+), which I think is pretty good for those tires, but began to wear down a lot faster a little after 3k. Once again all street and backroads.
140mph and up to 180mph on the road? Around Sydney even the motorways have speed limits of 110kph (70mph). Where are you located? Sounds like a good place to ride.Are you just tracking the bike? I'm at a little over 6k miles on original tires and got enough treads for at least another 2k... I'm probably 70% highway/city and 30% backroads, only 1 trip to Tail of the Dragon and all around those parts; with speeds anywhere from speed limit to average 85mph on highways with some pulls here and there up to 180mph but normally no more than 140mph when just speeding. 33.5psi front and 30.5psi rear. I heard some complaints on youtube about tire wear so was weary at first when I got my V4S but after hitting 4k I was very happy with the tire wear.
I can’t exactly confirm my actual speeds . But a friend of mine who I’m really close with rides a bike very similar to this exact bike and I don’t think he follows the speed limits . I’m astounded that people are posting that they are getting 6k (as in thousand miles ) out of a rear tire. They must be as smooth as Lorenzo riding or they just putt around on this thing ..... I can’t see how anyone would be able to get more then 3-3.5k miles out of the rear on this bike unless you haven’t ridden over 100mph .140mph and up to 180mph on the road? Around Sydney even the motorways have speed limits of 110kph (70mph). Where are you located? Sounds like a good place to ride.
Well I guess it depends on how often and how long you go over 100mph?I can’t exactly confirm my actual speeds .
