Pay for how many miles you ride per year...
2 to 3k or less,.. buy cheaper,... 6 to 10k per year,.. buy the Metzlers...
You want to wear it out,.. before it drys out... 4 to 6 years...
I agree. Buy depending on how many miles you ride per year. I have Metzler tires on my S40 and the rear tire has 15,000 miles on it and still has a few thousand left.
I won't use Dunlop 404 tires ever again. Had a Dunlop on my V Star 1100 and it lasted about as long as the stock IRC tire on the S40 did. The Dunlop was a slick at 8000 miles.
