Reply With QuoteI had Conti Road Attacks on my 12R. They lasted 7000 miles or so. If I had more corners on the way to work, they would go longer. They have a HUGE flat spot on them.
Hello all, I ride my XB12R to work everyday. I am in need of some new tires that will last as long as possible. I don't use bike for corner carving or anything like that. What are your suggestions?

I run Pirelli Angel ST on my XB9CityX 9000 on the rear,and on my X1 2000 so far.
I also run angels. Got ~2000mi on them so far and you wouldn't know it.
Same here, i got 2500 miles on my Angels with no sign of wear , compared to my Diablos on my other bike at the same mileage. A friend of mine has Angels and at 7500 miles they still looked practically new.I also run angels. Got ~2000mi on them so far and you wouldn't know it.
I have not used them, but michilen pilot road 2 seem to be a favorite for sport touring. They just release the 3 a month or so ago.
The pilot road 2's have been out for a while, they just released the pilot road 3's. I have about 8500 miles on the road 2's, still tons of life left. I expect to get about 13-15k out of them. The road 3's are supposed to have even better life, and better wet grip, than the road 2's.
Awesome thanks guys.....I will check out the Michelin Pilot's and the Pirelli Angels
another thing to consider claytucc is the road/roads you ride on, a surface that is not as smooth will eat your rubber quicker due to being a more abrasive surface as well as how aggressive you are while riding...
;)
all depends on riding style and the roads ive never gotten more than 3500 miles out of any rear tire.
