prob not, just have to start riding smarter.

Though I won't trust a sport touring tire on the track with that bike. and I really don't want to buy another set of wheels, or get rubber switched out every time.

That's why I said i'd be happy with 6K out of a rear tire... I that should be doable with a sport tire IMO.

That's a really bad tire for commuting, it wears too fast.

2ct's get my vote for spirited rides on the gap and trackdays, pp for canyon rides and weekend trips through the mountains, i tried the m3, liked them alot but perfer the michlien tires...

of and a set of super corsa super dragons for the track if you ever want to spoil yourself

my next set will prolly be a set of pilot road 2's

Im in love with the Brigestone BT0-16's having come off M3's my self had having had several stes of 2ct's. For the cost and grip these will be around my bike for at least a few sets.

I would go with the 190/55 rear for sure on that R1. If you havn't raised the rear I would look into that also. Depending on your year they are in need of some serious changes to turn properly.

Pilot Road 2

I've got them on the Duc and have over 7k miles on the rear tire and will probably get another 2-3 out of them.

Get a pr2 rear and a pp front, I hear the pr2 front is not the best combination for twisties.

Thats what Ive heard from a bunch of people on my other forum. The pr2/pp is supposed to work very well though.
