I've run a few brands on my old 90 Hurricane, but the last set - Michelin Pilot Road2 deserves special mention.
I've managed to squeeze 16500 K's (10,000 miles) out of them so far, and they aren't yet on the wear indicators, although the handling is starting to suffer, particularly at low speeds. Adhesion is as good now as it was when first fitted.
I would recommend you try them, when looking for new boots for your baby.

Pics available of the tyres after said mileage - they're still on the bike !

 

I'll second that. Those tyres are the best I've ever tried. Great in wet and icy conditions. Fantastic in the dry!

 

I will be in the market for new tires soon. Thanks for the info.

 

I will be up for some in a couple of months too, cheers Shadow.

 

Just installed a pair. Got 200 miles so far. I chose these first for mileage and second for performance. Sounds like I get to have my cake...
