Hi All
This past summer I got a 2006 R1200RT. At the time, it had brand new Michelin Road 5 tires. I like these tires and have them on a Honda CB500X. My issue is the tread-life and wear. I have about 5000 miles on the set of tires and they are practically to the wear bars. The front seems to be worn more than the rear, but only marginally. They also seem to wear unevenly on the shoulders where the softer compound is located with the center of the tire not wearing as quickly.
I would like to try some different tires next time and would like your input. I would say I am a "spirited" rider and ride year round in Maryland. I'm looking for a tire that would be good in all weather conditions, and have better longevity.
Any suggestions?
