Doesn't make your comment any less valid...your results were about the same as mine. They do share some features.
I found I really liked these tires, they did stick well and had a good feel but I do ride like a old man and squired
them off at between 3 and 4k still had tread though . I left the front on for over 7000 miles and was a little cupped but had lots tread left and did not affect handling.
I am due for a set of tires, and I think I might try these out. All my bike buddies fairly fresh sport bikes, and a set of better tires would probably help me embarrass them more
3k-4k miles? Gads. Those would last me a month and a half.

I wonder if the Metzelers would be a good choice for mileage.

Yes, you give these a try. Grip up the yin-yang. Handle great. Got mine from [url=https://www.accu-products.com/continental-tires/150/65-18-road-attack-2-classic-race-tire.html]Accu-Products, fast shipping and a very good price. I ain't saying I am the world's fastest rider but I ain't slow and I think they're the best choice out there for the CB1100.
I could've got another 1000 from the rear but it was flat-spotted so it had to go. Front looks really good still.
Here's an image of the rear, installed.
