    How many KM should I expect from a Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro front tire, 34psi, with no aggressive riding on my 5th gen?

    Pirelli would be your best source for a very rough estimate. Too many variables to construct a working answer and way too many tire "storys" around.

    Met a guy on a ride this weekedn with a 2002 VFR and the Pirelli Super Corsa's front and rear. Has about 4500 km's on the tires this year and he says front is close to 70% worn, and the rear is just about gone. He does ride a bit aggressive but not insane aggresive. He says the tires are really sticky and have great traction but said the treadlife is what he expected from a super sports tire and expects he will have to replace at the end of the season. As Badbilly said, Pirelli would be a great place to ask.

    Thanks guys :) I just need them to last from Toronto-Florida, and Toronto-Chicago so it looks like I will be ok.
