At the start of the summer i had to replace a front tyre on Julie's CB550 but, the rear tyre has loads of meat on it. When out for a ride today and she was on her CB500 Four. As i was putting the bikes away, i noticed the front tyre on her CB500 was looking worn out. Took a measurement of the tread and she has got it down to 1.3mm in 3000 miles and , the rear has a ton of tread left on it. This must be down to her riding style :o
I had a look at some of my bikes and my CB750K6 that i have done 6000 miles since fitting a new pair of tyres ;)

Cant fathom that one out at all Trigg, but can’t help thinking that she has got a better front brake than I have on my 550! 🤣🤣

Same riding style of MM93,
LOAD the front tyre dive hard into the corner, point and squirt.
Even with my front brake, I still do 2 rear to on front

That's what I was thinking Julie. Shot yourself in the foot there Trig. I can just see the High Res Slow Motion of Julie ripping across the Wolds. Standing it on it's nose with the rear wheel in the air. All on a single pot brake too.

Haha, Graham doesn't realise I'm the stoppie queen of the Lincolnshire Wolds 😂😂😂

It sounds like you brake for animals as well Julie! ;D

How did you manage to wear the front out Julie when it spends 90% of the time in the air ;)

Haha, yes, that's about right Tim. I must be special being able to scrub out front tyres in less than 3,000 miles 😂😂😂😂

There, 2 lovely new tyres, 1 for Kitty the 500, and 1 for Millie the 550. Graham says I need to make them last until Christmas at least 🙄🙄🙄🙄. If I had my way, they wouldn't even get fitted until next summer as I have 0.3mm good tread left on the current ones 😂😂😂

Back in 1974 my new Commando came fitted with a front Avon SM, it only lasted about 3 months before fitting Roadrunners.
Now using Roadriders.

I used to love the Dunlop Red Arrows ;D
-
0.3mm tread yet! That’s good for a couple of hundred mile yet Julie! Or maybe a couple of mile for you?🤭🤭

I used to use roadrunners, good tyre for the rear until it gets the step in it due to hard compound center and soft on the outside. Sill have some of those in stock :o

Roadrunners and Roadriders were never available in dual compound tread, maybe different now tho?
