My 2007 R1200 GSA is going to be needing tires in the near future. I'm currently running my first set of Michelin Anakee 3s with about 7k miles on them. The front has cupped just like its predecessor and the rear has the dreaded flat wear pattern from straight road riding. They're probably good for another 3k miles worth of local riding. Prior to running the Michelins I was running several sets of Metzler Tourance tires (6-7k miles). I should get about 9-10k miles on these tires, but the way they wear and make noise is getting old.
I see that Continental has their ContiTrail Attack 3 (90/10) and Michelin has their Anakee Adventure (80/20). I ride mostly on hard surface roads and some occasional gravel. The twisties are far and few between here in Iowa, but enjoyed none the less.
Does anyone have enough miles on these tires to speak to the way they wear and the longevity of these tires, or maybe provide better options? It sure would be nice to get 10-12 k miles out of a set of tires..........
Thanks in advance,
