I got Dunlop trailmax, may just as well be road tyres. great on the road, crap on trails. Why do you want pure road tyres? There's no option of going off road then, if you fit Tourances then you have a superb road tyre and a more than adequate trail tyre.

If you are only getting 5000 miles from your rear tyres I suspect that it is not the tyres but your riding style; no offence - we all ride the way wa like, but most people seem to get 12,000 miles at least from the rear. I have used my bike through three winters and really have felt very little difference between the tyre performance (Tourances) in the wet or dry ( but then again, that is probably due to my more sedate form of riding.michelin pilot roads for me excellent grip in the wet and dry,but only managed 5000 miles from the rear,thought the tourances lost grip to easily in the wet.

"Don't think I believe this, I did once get nearly 9000 from a set of Mich road Pilots, but they were wellbelow 1mm tread when i got back from a long trip. Usually I get 4000-6000miles from a set, maybe less with Dunlops trailmax."
