U-Soft 003?
Just wondering how many KM will the U-Soft last on the street with some dragstrip time?
I am looking into geting a rim for the track also.

I use 2ct's on my bike it would just be a pain to change the tire after the drag weekend. Thats why I want to know how long it will last.

id say the usoft would last roughly 6000 miles on the street., less than that if you have alot of strip usage.
i got the reg 003, a bit more increased tread life and hooks well on the track

No way man. I havent seen ANY rear tire last 6000 on any of my bikes on the street.

I am at roughly 65" wheelbase, I was figuring 2000-3000KM for the U-Soft.

I don't race or drag (just street riding) and I have 8 thousand on my Michellans Road Pilots so far. I hope to get another 5 thousand out of them

No way 6k miles. That's a soft tire. It all depends on how many passes, tire pressure, how long of a burnout, how hard it's driven on the street,etc. I'd take a stab at 2-3k miles

You do know the throttle goes almost 1/2 turn right? 
Only way you get that sorta mileage is by riding like a granny....I'm lucky to get 3k out of any tire on the back of this bike. Easy to get way less and that's just with normal street riding and in the mountains.
