Riders of MM. In your "real world" applications what would you say is a fair estimate for mileage out of rear tire? I've had these Battlax BT-023s on the SV for 5k+ miles. They've seen daily commuting in DC for 3 months, 300+ mile trips on weekends, a trackday, and plenty of aggressive street riding.
I've notice for some time now the rear of the SV in turns (read: hard lean) feels "wiggly"? Tire pressure is always setup for manufacturer's spec, I've dumped the old shock and now have the ZX10r shock in the rear. I'm having a hard time distringuishing if it's me (riding position), road conditions, tires or a combo. I would say prior to Mayish the bike did not feel this way.
Is it possible due to the increased wear in the center of the tire from regular riding has produced a "ridge" which is where I feel the bike wiggling?
Time for a new tires? I'm thinking my next set will be more "sport" oriented.
Note: I don't feel the confidence to push the bike as hard I used to.
