2CT madness!!!! What is the most milage you got on them? : Kawasaki ZX Forums: Kawasaki Ninja Forum

Nightmare · 09-01-2009, 07:11 PM

What is the most milage you have got on a set of 2ct's? I just can not get over how great these tires are! I have 6250 on the set right now! With about 50 percent left in the front, and about 30-40 percent left in the back. I do a combination of different riding. Anywhere from 100 constant miles of twisties, to a commute to work, to a 200 mile straight drive to ocean city maryland. This is more of a fun pole since I know I am not the only one crazy about these tires! I know alot of guys on this forum use these tires to, I suppose this is why I made a pole.

Less than 1000 simply because they are new. Only had them a couple of weeks and it has been raining here pretty often. (first time with 2ct's also so can't speak on previous previous mileage)

I've got around 12,000 on my 2CT front tire, it's starting to look like a knife blade but still not down to the wear bars.

I probably would have gotten this many out of my rear too, but I somehow put a huge hole in it a couple thousand miles ago and had to replace it, still had at least half it's tread left. I think I got around 7,000 out of it before whatever I ran over fucked things up.

I guess the 9K choice is most appropriate for me, since the poll doesn't go anywhere near high enough?

You tippy toe with your ass off the seat, hold the front brake with a couple fingers, roll on the throttle while letting out on the clutch ......LOL..(age37)He He.

05Carbon636 · 09-02-2009, 01:17 PM

^^^^ and lean your weight over the front tire. im 22 =)

jah · 09-02-2009, 08:21 PM

k, got it, im afraid to try though, might try this weekend, is there a reason to do a burnout other than being at the track? im asking just to have an excuse to do it, in case someone looks at me like im just tryin to show off..

dhowton · 09-03-2009, 11:36 AM

^^ You want a new set of tires?

gnaime · 09-03-2009, 11:58 AM

burnouts are the type of thing where you really want to do it before you start, then as you're doing it you kinda want to stop, then after you are done you wish you hadn't started the burnout in the first place...unless you have a new rear tire waiting to be installed! Then it's kinda like this:

Holy hairy mooseballs Bulldog

I have no idea how you did that with the center only on a pair of CT'2.
I can see wearing the edges due to the softer compound but I can't think of a way to wear that much center on any tire if your not doing burns.

Unless your bottoming out or rubbing the tire on something via the undertail

realistically I think just riding fast wears the crap out of these softer tires quickly.
