I've got Pilot Road 4s on the Tmax - they are good, a bit sportier than the Power Pure SCs I had on before. Can't say what durability is like as I haven't had them long, but with me & tyres, you probably won't have to wait too long! I've read hints on the web that they aren't particularly long lasting. Wet grip is pretty good, though lacks a little feel in damp, as opposed to full wet, road conditions.

Not going to bother changing mine... It's only flat on the bottom.

Always had the OE bridgestone but once had a Continental some thing or other that only did 3000 the briddys used to do 3 1/2 to 4 thou or 1800miles if thrashed around France for two weeks.

O! i have the PR4's on the 750x and they are good..don't have a clue how long they will last but guys on the NC forum like them and say they do well on wear .
