Another post concerning tire choice
I have read alot of the posts concerning tire selection including the 05 article by the
bikeland crew, but I wondered about model specific design. The 12r suggested
michelin is the pilot sport hpx. I know the pirellis are more cost effective, and some
have pointed out that the 190 or 180 are a better choice for the unsprung weight
concerns. I got 4000 miles out of the stock tire. I'd like to better that this time, although
I think that will be directly proportionate to the right wrist input.
Your input would be valuable to release me from paralisis by analisis!!!!

I heard a good quote once...
"You gotta pay to play."  Think of it as part of the bike purchase price, lots of tires. Hell I only get 2500-3000miles MAX on a 636bike with pilotpowers. Pilotpowers are the best.
