How many miles should I expect to get from the OE tires on a 2008 ZZR600? Normal to hard riding. No burnouts.

 

Probably close to 3500-3800 miles

 

Then I must not be riding hard enough, I have almost 5k on them! Qualifiers next year!

 

Seriously? Jeez, tires are pretty much disposable on bikes..

 

i'm getting close to 4k and they need replaced bad.
lots of long trips though.

 

Also, what can I expect to pay to have a rear tire put on?

 

5k is not bad,

my stock commuter tires i got 5200 out of them, just freeways and straight riding

my pilot powers about 3500 max but full lean hardcore canyon riding, no commuting on those though except to the riding areas

my second set of commuters 1200 now and they look like no wear.

track time pilot powers, gone in a day lol

pay no more than 40 bucks for a mount and balance if the tires on the bike and 25/30 if you bring it in.

 

My guys charged me $26 for front/rear and disposed of the tires.

 

what we pay and what some of the guys in the mid west pay are two different stories tho ted, i pay 10 bucks a swap but remember on one of the other tire threds some guys were paying 50 bucks a tire

 

That is true. I included the tire disposal as well since that is an added fee to changing tires now.
