Maybe you've got Teflon coated roads in your part of the world ..... Part
of my mileage was a 600 mile round trip explore of the north of Scotland -
and the single track roads up there "eat" tyres. One of the guys I was with
was on his girlfriend's Tiger and I don't think she was best pleased with
him when he came back with shredded tyres.
Looking around at my non-Triumph riding associates in the UK, about
4.5-5.5k is about average for rear tyre life here. Those who run BT-010s or
sportier get about 1k miles less. We all average about two rears for one
front - although in the Bridgestone case it's well shot at 9k.
