What about a tire survey?
#32
I use MICHELIN ROAD 6 and find I replace 2 fronts to every 1 rear. I used the ROAD 5 before that. I daily all-weather primarily highway "sometimes spirited" and cross country uncaged. The biggest impact to me is keeping it at 36F/42R air pressure. My rear has 16k on it good for about 4-6 months and front 8k good for about 6-8 months daily riding 20mi a few days a week at least 60mi. I replace at wear bars. I shift on the screen ^ up arrow recommendation almost always and I slow with engine breaking, and then the front break (linked to back) almost exclusively unless I want to stop faster then I use the rear break. (bad habit to do this but I get away with it because it's linked breaking).

Solo uncaged daily 2016 BMW 1200RS rider with aftermarket Wilber lowered suspension, low seat, Remus exhaust, non-active front suspension, Shorai lithium battery, daytime LED blinker/breaks, brighter headlights, and a Puig tinted screen.  Make life a ride!
