If not, then I shan't push the OEMs hard because you have no bloody idea what you're talking about!
Uh... I shag tires pretty quickly without trying. If your tires still look like new after 4K miles you must not ride very hard in the twisties. I can't even get my OEMs to last 4K miles. My OEMs on my RC51 died at 2K.
Tires last longer when ridden at night because they don't heat up as much. The roads in south florida get to way over 100 degrees durring the day.
The hotter the tire = the softer the tire = less tred life.
So don't mock someone if you don't understand something that is a comon fact, especially if their answering YOUR question.
Also another fact it looks like your not aware of but your tires actually wear more when all you do is go in a straight line, because the wear is all in the same spot. But If where you live all there is a twisties and turns then you'd be placing wear evenly over the entire tire so it would take longer to wear the tire.
By the way i keep 35-42PSI in rear and 32-36PSI in front. I've never heard of replacing a tire after only 1,000 miles. But sounds way too expensive for my taste. It takes me like 150 miles just to break in the tire. I dont know why your tires need replacing after only 1000 miles scooter. Either your running at a super low PSI or your doing to many burnouts!
