how many miles/KM did you get from the Michelins - and which Michelins were they.

Bridgestone BT-021's on my B12 right now. Work fine in all conditions; sticky, predictable, rain competent... wear seems fine (for around 4000 miles)

11,000 miles? Man, you can't beat that. Stick with the Pilots. My bike came with Dunlops and I changed em after 3000 miles. Could have maybe got 5000 running them bald. Let's hope my Pilots can go 11,000 but I kinda doubt it.

interesting thread...i seem to tear through front tires and rears at almost the same speed...(must be doing something wrong i guess) my rear maxiss right now only has 5k on it...and it will just pass the yearly inspection here, I hope. So being able to get 11k would be sweet. It may have to be Pilots this spring.
