I got more mileage out of the original tire then I thought I would. Replaced it with the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tire. I hope to get close to 15,000 miles on that tire, but who knows.

Depends on the type of road surface you have locally and how much engine breaking you do when riding in the twisties. A bunch of our roads are chip seal that will absolutely eat tires. The only time I got over 9000 on a bick tire on my ST was when I left the state on a 7000 mile trip. Comparing tire longevity is pretty much useless unless you live in the same locale and have similar riding habits. It's pretty much the same as comparing insurance premiums.....too many variables to consider.
I got 3565 miles on my rear Z8 on my NC before cords were showing. Move to Arkansas and try to get 15K miles from a tire..... I dare you.

My Metzelers lasted 4500 miles and I threw the slippery riding tires in the trash. PR3s so much better I don't care if they wear longer than Metzelers.
