Usually a rear lasts 10 to 12000 before you need to replace it, depends on how many highway miles and if you carry a pillion or heavy luggage. They are worth it for a safe commute and some fun on the twisties. Winter or summer, these tires look cool and perform better than expected. I´ve been buying them for years.
