Tire prices....

What I hate most about the bike tires is the lack of mileage you get out of them, and it's not like you can run them out of tread. Seems like I'm buying a rear bike tire every year and I keep trying for a higher mileage option I'm not buying the off brand $hit. Why can't they make one with grip that gets 20k mi.

Last Sport bike I commuted on would get 5k or a rear tire and 10k on the front tire, front brakes and chain and sprockets...Granted I rode pretty hard but still.
I know what you mean about the off brand crap. I had a buddy that used to always ride on Cheng Shin, don't know if I spelled it right. Or if they are still around. But I can say that they were damn near like riding on the snow. Sure they were close to half of Dunlop/Metzeler/Bridgestone but it made riding down right scary.
Can't help but wonder if any bike tire is capable of 20K?
