I don't take them down to chords, but I don't waste a lot of rubber either. I get a good mix of straight flat and curves to keep the tire wear pretty evenly across the tire. I am going to really miss the Michelin's on the CB. They are great tires. Not sure what I am going to go to. I tried Z8's on one of my Yamaha FZ-1's and they didn't last for beans on that bike, maybe 4-6K iirc. I had no issues with the stock Dunlops on the CB, handling wise and ran them to the edges, but they only lasted about 8K. which is at the bottom of my acceptable list for endurance. Never been a fan of Bridgestones. May try the Pirellis like Ptero. I value his opinion and if he says they are good tires they must be.
Just checked Revzilla website and see the Pilot Road 3 is still available there in 18'. Only the 120 front is in stock and that's the tire I've been using now for 3 years with zero problems. The 160 is in stock for rear.

I will check with revzilla tomorrow and if they have them order up a couple pairs, and put them in my stock. Thanks for the info redbirds.
If they don't I will check with Bike Bandit..ditto on the info Redbird
