Specifically, I ride a BMW K1300GT. During 24K miles I've had 2 sets (not always change at the same time) of Pirelli Angel GT2s and 3 sets of Michelin Pilot Road 4GTs. Best front tire mileage was 7500 and best rear was 5700.
- Like most, I romp on the throttle from time-time but easily +80% of the time it's more sedate, highway tour riding.
- I use engine braking more often than not.
- Never carried a passenger and regularly packed gear is probably 25lb or less; never exceeded 50lb for a short trip from the store. I weigh 210lb.
- I'm no where close to pushing the limits of this bike but want tires that provide confidence if I lean over a bit more.
So please tell me, who makes the proverbial magic bullet?
I always get close to 9k on the rear. Donāt ride hard and always check the tire pressure before riding.
