you might look into dual compound or touring compound tires if you're wearing primarily in the middle. might save you som $$ to go with a harder/longer lasting tire if your not beating the hell out of it in every corner, but whats the fun in that
I think my problem is that a love bends but accelorate like stink out of the corners to beat my sports bike mates in to the next bend.

I also like use the back brake to steer mid bend. :upthumb: (a little trick I learnt doing enduro's).

My dealer wants £125 for a new rear tyre; what do you think?
