I have almost - hence looking for replacements - killed the PR4's which were barely used when I got the bike end of Oct. So 5 months - 4500 miles.
I used to get around 6000 from a PR4 on the SV.
As summer is looming, should I be looking for something a little more fun, however this will probably wear out far too quickly?
Or stick to what I know, and put the same tyres back on.
Or as i'm always skint something cheaper?
I did like the Pirelli Diablo Strada, Gary suggested for the SV last time.
Shame I never got to wear them out, they are still in my garage.
But I'm unsure how they would handle double the ponies.
Thoughts please.

I am a fan of the Michelin Pilot Power range, and run the older Pilot Power 2CT (although on a F800ST). Great in all conditions, and have used them for the past 6 years or so. Mileage wise I've got about 6.5k out of my current rear as I do commute on it - so the centre has worn down to the markers. The front still has a good few mm left, so should see 8-10k I reckon.
They are also now cheap too at only £160 for a set (120/70/17 & 180/55/17) plus fitting (£200 all in roughly).
The only other tyre I would consider is a Michelin Road 5, but the slick shoulders/outer edges put me off. The same as did on the Pilot Power 3's.
