Re: rear tyre time
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.

Re: rear tyre time
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.
