I'm back but the back tyres gone

Hi folks,
Not been on in a while fatherhood is taking up most of my time.
But i have had enough spare time to get out on the cat and burn the back tyre out well it's wear and tear really.But the tyre is well and truley worn and torn. Have got a set of Michelins on at the moment (just)pilot 2's but was looking to see wot you guy's have got or had in the past and what to go for next.
I use the bike for getting to work and back when i get the chance so long life would be nice but also like a blast at the weekends so some grip would be good too.
HELP!

..Peanut.

Re: I'm back but the back tyres gone

Same here, I have the Pilot road 2's on my Fazer 1000, I'm out on this bike 2 up mostly and up to now have over 9,000 miles on a set, the best tyres I've ever used, very grippy in the wet and exceptional in the dry. They are a fantastic all round dual compound tyre, I will be ready for a new set shortly and will definitely put the same on again.

Re: I'm back but the back tyres gone

Sounds like the tyre for me. now i've got the task of getting the wheel off.
Last time had it suspended from the garage roof. And said i'd buy a paddock stand but as usual not got it yet.
As for weenut he is certainly keeping me busy,but it's all good.
Now where did i put that block and tackle
