My tires so far, I always change front and rear together:
km 0 Dunlop OEMs (5,323 km)
km 5,323 Bridgestone T30 (8,515 km, but was more than done after that)
km 13,838 Metzler Z8 (M) (6,650 km, including 1 day race track)
km 20,488 Bridgestone T30 (just new for 2 weeks)
Best tire to me? It depends on:
handling: Z8 was best,
road grip: T30, especially when wet
The Z8 felt more neutral than the T30, but got slippery when cool and wet.
From endurance and grip, I think the MPR3 is equal to the T30. However, I like the T30 more, since it is neutral in cornering. The MPR3 tends to tilt over from a certain point while cornering. Know this tire from a beemer.
May be, I try the Z8 again next summer. For the colder season I chose the T30 for now.
Only drawback with the T30 is, it's not a 140/70. I would really prefer that over 160/60.
