No idea how you get so many miles on a rear, but judging from some pics, I can speculate how hard they are run. I dislike generic forums with tire reviews who don’t post their machine details, as HP and weight seem most important. Since this is S10 forum, all these numbers should be from the same bike, so I guess the main difference is how hard you run, esp after seeing high miles from heavily loaded bikes. I know I’m aggressive, but I never guessed you could be nice enough to make anything last that long. Are these soft dirt miles?
Since I ride hard enough to scrape my boots frequently, I’m happy to pay for excellent grip. We also get sporadic cold/wet spots, so I want something good for that. Currently on Mission front and Raid rear, with no real complaints. Didn’t like the 70Rocks rear when first installed, as it seemed to follow every groove; got better with time, but not enough to try again. Switched to my current Raid which eliminated the wandering.
I seem to be getting average 7500 miles out of a rear on the S10, with a mix of highway and twisties and a little dirt on occasion. I wanna say I got closer to 6000 on the E705, but that’s unverified. I could get more street focused rubber, but the S10 is my do it all bike and I’m pretty impressed with the 80/20 tires I’ve run so far; (3)Shinko E705, (1)TKC70Rocks, (1)Trailmax Raid
Honestly, I’ve not hated any tire. My goal is safety for my riding style, which is always legal, but fast as possible in the corners.
I’m a lighter guy at 175 lbs and mostly just carry some snacks in my top case and carry on luggage when I commute.
My Raid after 3k miles. This bike is amazing!
