    Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread

    Battalax rear lasts on proper usage upto 13K and front 15 K... It can last even more depending on individuals riding style. Overall one of top class tyres.. Be it on wet dry or semi/completely broken road... Pair will cost you around 30K if you get ot at all... Best IMO is Pilot Road 3... Metzler is good and vfm and relatively cheaper.

    Mine has run 9.5k and showing signs of wear. Could be due to the fact that once I got a small piece of a nail and air was leaking very slowly that I didn't notice and rode like this for a while. (i.e till I got home, then I saw the leak)

    Pm me if anyone can source pr3s without breaking the bank

    Michelin pr3s are so hard to find at a decent price. And bridgestones the showroom said would be 28 just for the rear..that seems absurd.

    How long to metzeller m5's last with normal usage ?
    Yes Metzeler tyre are of softer compound.This is a photo of the tyre thread pattern.
    Don't know how long the tyre would last under normal usage. The rear tyre cost around 12K but not sure
