Bike suppiled with anakee 3's , first rear tyre written off with a puncture and 5 or 600 miles , second one lasted 1200 miles before the same fate, they were the noisiest tyres I have ever ridden on and crap in cold damp weather so were replaced at 6500 miles .
After reading everyones recommendation went for Pilot Road trail 4's .............they lasted for 6000 miles but to be honest I found them noisy (not as bad as the Anakees ) but not an inspiring tyre.
Replaced them with Avon Trailriders earlier this year and what a revelation , nice and quiet, excellent wet weather grip and decent wear rates . After 3000 miles the rear is about half worn (hasn't squared off ) and the front barely worn .
For purely road based work a couple of friends have gone over to the new Avon Spirit ST (one on a Tiger 1050 Sport and the other a GS LC) and they absolutely love them
