pieyed07 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 How many miles did you get out of your oem tires on the FJ-09? thanks JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carey Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I replaced my tires at 3600 miles. The rear was almost to the wear bars in the center. The front tire had a lot of tread left, but you could feel the cupping/uneven wear along the side. I could have gone some more miles, but I have a big trip coming up and decided to replace both with a set of Metzler Z6. We'll see how these work because I've been using Michelin PR3/4 for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Rear was shot around 2200 I think. Front still looks good around 4k. Rear went quick because...ahem.. bad wheelies. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted August 29, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted August 29, 2017 I picked up a nail in the rear and changed them out at 4,000 miles about 8 weeks ago. I have since put almost 5,000 miles on a new set of Pirelli Angel GT's, I have about 3,300 more miles planned for them in the next 4 weeks. Fantastic tires! ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmie Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Not a fan of the OEM tyres.....not particularly confidence inspiring in the wet (especially when they start to wear). Like betoney, I am running Pirelli Angel GT's and are really enjoying them. Wet or dry they hang in there.

Premium Member superfist Posted August 29, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted August 29, 2017 I got 5,800 miles out of the OEM tires. I maybe could have pushed to 6k, but realistically should have been replaced when it was down to the wear bars at 5,500. Then next 300 made for a bald center of the rear tire. Mix of commuting 30 miles a day and 300 mile fun rides in the mountains on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Henchman Posted August 30, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted August 30, 2017 OE rear was at wear bars and replaced at 8500 miles. Front had a little more to give, but was replaced also. I ride in STD mode with TCS engaged, and looking at others mileage, maybe these two factors added significantly to the tire life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted August 30, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted August 30, 2017 I got 4,800 miles out of the stock D222s. The rear still has some tread depth dead center, but had worn pretty seriously about 20 degrees off center on both sides... kind of a triangular wear profile up near the crown. I've never had a tire wear quite like that, actually. Regardless, I went with the Michelin PR4s as replacements, and am happy with the mix of traction (very good) and wear (apparently excellent).

rockinsv Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 4,200 on the rear, wore it out on the sides at The Dragon. I needed to replace the front not much after that as I developed a fairly severe head shake that was getting worse. I had the dealer go through it all and they said to replace the tire. The Pilot Road 4's fixed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorius T Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I was able to get 15,000 miles on my stock Dunlops. Ha. I probably stretched em a bit thin. Literally! The rear was showing some underlying ribbed material in the center. I just completed the installation of a new pair of Pirelli GT Angels. Much better!

Premium Member keithu Posted September 4, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 My rear was done at 5500 miles. I replaced the front at 7500. It wasn't completely done but I was heading out on a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member joeszup Posted September 4, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 5006 miles and replaced them with PR4's. Mostly commuting miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdfsau Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I just replaced the rear OEM Dunlop at 10,000 miles. Tire usage included both some highways and many fast, twisty roads. The new rear tire I put on is the brand new Dunlop Roadsmart 3. Dunlop claims this will get substantially higher mileage than any other tire, particularly the Michelin PR4. Dunlop also claims great wet and dry weather performance as well. Dunlop specifically developed the tire alongside the Michelin PR4. It tried to make a tire that was superior to the PR4 in all regards. Handling of new rear tire is great around turns. Big improvement over OEM rear tire. Dunlop also claims that their new tire will not "go off" (i.e. handling becomes crappy or even dangerous) before the end of the tire's life. I have had a lot of problems in the past with Michelin PRs on other bikes (Yamaha FJR1300 etc) suddenly "going off" which necessitated early tire replacements. I hope this tire cures this problem. I still have the OEM front tire on. It still has plenty of tread on it. I might replace it regardless to see how the new Roadsmart works on the front.

Premium Member jgalloway Posted September 4, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 I had to replace the rear at 3,800 miles. I was into the wear bars on the sides. Amazingly, I still have the front one at 9,000. Looks like it'll last another 1,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabefzr6 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The stock Dunlop 222s lasted 2518 miles for me. I thought they were pretty good for stock tires. I've ridden on much worse. But I prefer the Pirelli Diablo Rossos I've been running since. 2008 Street Triple G 2015 FJ-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
