Got one on the front of the ER...but can't really compare it with anything. More aimed at touring rather than sports riding I think...

It was a new tyre when I bought the bike at 34,000km and I up to 41,000km and it is in no immediate need of being replaced...probably get at least as much again...but I don't ride particularly hard.

I've had macadams on the front on this and my last bike. I've never had one let go on me, never had them slip out, except tonight when i was going through a bit of sand at a carpark (my own fault, wasnt going 100% straight ahead). Grip well, disperse water well, hardish compound.

oh yeah, definately a touring style tyre.

The Macadams were replaced by Michy as the current Pilot Road series of tyres.
