Good mileage but would not recommend the 600miles due to the wire showing half way around the tire, it still held together very well.
Did grip the road very well going through all the gears up to 8000RPM every ride on the flat and around corners in the dry, did some wet weather riding with no slip so will buy again.

Only managed to get 1800 miles from the back tire.
Good tires. Don't really ride that hard. Not had any issues with Them.
Would have liked them to have lasted a bit longer though.
1800 miles. The guy I bought the bike off managed to get 5400 out of a rear.
Think I may try pilot road 4's next.

Given 67% while driving a Honda CB1000r (180/55 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 3,900 spirited miles
Did 3900 miles on mine, on the back of a CB1000r. 1500 miles in one long hit killed the centres and I think I could have got another 500 miles easily had I not done those motorway miles.
Great progressive tire, you can feel it slowly loose and slowly come back to grip, I'd be surprised if you made it break grip in the dry with less that 180bhp, I've never come close on mine. In the wet it only broke free when riding like an idiot. I would have ordered another, but I need a bit more motorway ability (to get to the decent lanes). Just fitting a BT016 to see if the multi compound works any better.

not a bad tire once its warm, you just dont get a good feed back from the tire that its warm enough to corner. very stable at 170mph, And once you corner its not the best on its limit, but a very good lasting tire for all around enthusiastic riding, mine lasted me 4000km -

Given 76% while driving a Honda CBR1000RR10 (190/50 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
OE tires supplied with the bike were good .Mostly used for week end blasts. 3 track days. Had them replaced @3900 for the BT016 pro. Lit the rear up on a motorway slip road going up hill at 60- 70 ish Pleased with the tire but wanted / needed some thing a little sticker for the track.

Hard to fault a tire that is specifically made to suit a bike with so much power (BT-015 M spec).
Look to your suspension before you knock these tires.

Generally good at most things. Original fitted by Honda on my CB1,000 R

However worn out in only 3,000 miles of not very hard riding !!!

I think the tire is ok yes it gives good grip in the dry and ok in the wet. Like has been said before the weak point of this tire is the tire wear!! I only got 1600 miles out of my rear tire.

Brilliant in all aspects of road holding. Excellent high speed handling, even two up. Well able to cope with 190+ bhp. Only week point being the miles covered before having to change it.
Would I use again - defiantly.
