I'm riding a 2013 MT1200. I've run several sets of the roadsmarts, as well as Angel GT's, Metzeler Roadtec's, and prob a couple others. I can never seem to get more than 4k on a rear tire. I'm amazed by some of the miles people on here claim to get. I'm always solo rider, usually pump to 36psi, and other than a couple of pounds of stuff and maybe a spare shirt my bags are empty. I'm 205lbs and a fair rider, but no track experience or anything like that. I'm riding mountain roads mostly in central to Western NC and would LOVE to get 6K miles out of a back tire. Am wondering if I'll do better with Michelin, Road 5's or 6's. Anyone want to tell me how they're getting good mileage? I have my traction control set to the highest level (learned that lesson on first couple rear tires). Open to ideas, thanks.

I'm on Road 6's on my 2022 PP, about 2500 miles on this set since i put them on this fall. 35psi front, 36psi rear. I don't do any offroad (that is what the dirt bike is for) and ride spirted solo on back country twisty roads. I'm 155lbs in birthday suit. So far very impressed. Had 2 sets of Pirelli Rossi IVs before and could never get more than 3500-4k miles out of a set. I hope to get 6k out of these Road 6s. I'll go out on a limb and say the Road 6 has about 90% of the dry grip of the Rosso IVs.
