    depends on road surface, weight, amount of acceleration/deceleration etc.

    for the stickier racing tyres in the 210-250g range i get around 3000-3500km on the rear, more for the front, but it can vary a lot either way depending on conditions

    btw using 25mm on the rear lasts longer than 23mm
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    3,200 miles out of my last set of Michelin Pro4 SC. Currently 2,000+ miles out of a set of Conti GP4000S and they still have a good amount of life left.

    I prefer the Pro4. There's not much in it but I feel they run a bit quicker. Just bought a set of the 25c for the audax bike and they ride a bit smoother than the 23c.

    My Pro 3s lasted 3500 miles. Replaced them with GP4000s and they've done 5000+ miles and still have plenty of life left.

    I rarely get much more than 3.5 thou miles.
