Tires from Chaparral...

Ordered a set of Pilot Sport 110/70 and 150/60 last Thursday from Chaparral, got them in today.  Had a Thursday special going on, so I got out the door with $9 each shipping charges, for $212 and some change.

They are replacing a set of the same, I've gotten 4500 miles out of each rear PS that I've had on the back, and had this front on since new, I'm now at 9304 miles.

Not bad mileage for pretty friggin sticky tires.

Just thought I'd give you my personal good experience with them.

I'm about 275 miles from San Bernadino, where Chaparral is based, so my shipping time is not exactly average.

Wait a minute...  You have a 2000 bike that you got NEW and you only have 9,000 miles on it?  Hell, I did more than that in a year.

Get out there and RIDE!

I'm surprised how low a mileage those tires get.  I bought BT-45s and I got about 10,000 from the rear.  No tread in the middle but I avoided the rain until I got it replaced.

Are those radials?  They fit OK?  Any other radials with decent "stick" that get better mileage?  I don't get too radical so I can live with less stick.  Should I even think about going to radials?

Thanks...
