Hi¡ I´ve read in several magazines that Michelit pilot road 2ct is the best sport touring tire available, it has a thread pattern that is soft in shoulders and hard at center, so this tire can last about 15000 KM o more in good conditions,(must inflate 36PSI front and 40-42 PSI rear) I´m using the previous version and I´m happy with them,are good for dry but better in wet conditions
