Hey guys I'm looking for advice on street only tires for my Ténéré. I have just over 5000 miles on the bike, I'm on my second set of Metzeler Tourance EXP's the first set lasted 1900 miles and now the second set is cooked. I ride pretty aggressive and only ride the Suoer Ténéré on the street.. I have other much more user friendly bikes for the off road stuff, so no dirt ever for my bike- more power to everyone who takes there's off road but mines a dedicated street machine.
So my question- Is anyone running a street only tire? What brand/model? Do you like them? Milelage? Grip? Wear? Any recommendations would be great. Not really concerned with wet weather preformance as it only rains 5-10 days a year here.. I do a lot of straight slab riding, 100 miles one way on the freeway to the office, but also live two minutes from some of the best canyons in Californina- so I guess I'm wanting a good all around street tire that will last a good couple of miles. Maybe FJR or RT style type of tire?? Thoughts?
