well, I am no tire expert.. I can only judge by the results I get.. and I mainly look for price, tire mileage, and handling..I have settled with those Shinko's .. they are pretty cheap and I have resigned myself to just change them often.. kinda like a race car driver.. swapping them out after so many laps.. haha .. don't get me wrong, I am not that fast in the canyons, but I do ok.. another theory I have is the road I choose to ride.. other riders have commented, hwy 33 out of ventura has a tendency to eat tires.. maybe that is the reason for my poor mileage..looking back at my records of other bikes I have owned, the tire mileage seems to run between 2,200 miles to 3,600 miles.. the bikes were older naked goldwings, cbr 1100 blackbirds, Yamaha 1300 fjr's, Honda vfr's, and the like.. fronts and rears seem to be pretty close.. these are just generalizations .. chuckk j.
