New C&S on mine at 12,000, now done 25,000 and the replacements are fine-mind you I have had a Scottoiler on mine since new.
Athelstan, do you find the roads in Switzerland very abrasive? I did a run into the arctic circle-up through Norway, across Lapland and down through Sweden this year. Brand new Pilot Sport was down to the wear bars in 2,000! That was 2 up, but they normally last me 5,500-6,000. On our Italy trip 2 years ago I got 3,000 out of a part worn Pilot Sport, again 2 up.
