Also dont forget if your only just starting to "use" your tyres again its not just your tyres that will need warming up but the rider will need getting used to it again. lots of riders take a while to get confidence back in themself and/or the bike/tyres after a lull in riding.
i ride most of the year but mostly for work in the winter so no playing on the bike as such. i find if i get a good day and go for a play i tend to scare myself as even now with the muck on the roads and the cold weather even good tyres are bellow thier best in grip and feel then throw in a rider thats happy to see good weather and you have a recipie for some uncomfortable moments
4.5k on a rear for me is about warn out as i allmost never get 5k from a rear any make on the 1000. but as others seem to be able to get 9k from a tyre you can decide how close to replacememnt you are.
