As matter of interest what's the insurance company attitude to running a tyre of a different size than the factory recommends, would they use that point to knock back a claim.
Most I got from a Metz was 4,800kms. Got around 6,500 from Avon (twice). Sitting on around 9,000 km from the Bridgestone, might make it to 10,000. In other words, Metz cost me around 8.75c per km, Bridgstone will be around 4c per km. I don't do burn outs but I do like to accelerate hard and corner hard. I'd have to comletely change my riding style to get anywhere near what Scorp gets but I have no doubt the profile of the Bridgestone adds to the mileage.
