how often do you have a tire for? distance or time is fine, I'm just curious. I burn through like 3 sets a year so I was wondering what everyone else was doing.
 
Last summer I ate up the stock tires and half way though another rear.

No track days.

This summer will be a different story.
 
my stock tires on my 1125 lasted about 5K miles,and I did one track day on them. my replacements have been on for about 8k miles so far, mostly in town and a few longer trips. They are almost due for replacing.
 
about 5k out of the stockers, have 3k on power pilot ct2's and they look like brand new yet.
 
it all really depends on the tires you get. the softer the compound, the faster they will wear.

I have Dunlop Sprotmax GP-A's on my CBR and they have about 1K miles on them and need replaced. I use my CBR as a track bike though, so I put a little more stress on them. our local track is really rough on tires, I usually replace mine after 2 trackdays.

This was after the first track day of me using them
 
got about 400-4500 out of the stock tires, replaced them with Pirelli Angels which should last a bit longer. I usually stick with sport touring tires when I find a pair I like. You can get more out of the sides before you worry about the middle getting too worn.
 
I got under 5k from my stock tires, hated them!

Have over 7k on my road 2ct's and they still look awesome. Will not be surprised if i get 15k from them. Would not hesitate to get another set once these finally wear out, but they just released the pilot road 3ct's...they are supposed to be improved so if they get good reviews I'll probably go with them.
