    1) Dont do motorways unless you really have to, like if I am going to Bristol or London I try and use the A4 as it is the same road but more fun.
    2) Dual or tri compound were made for running on say like motorways, as they make the middle tougher and harder so they dont square off as much.

    If used on the road only go for Avon Storms Ultras new dual compound.

    If you venture on the track a little upto inter group, go for the new Avon Viper VP2 dual compound again.

    Used them both on a gsxr 1000 with great results...british tyres, on a british bike! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Keep some poor spud in Melksham in a job, can't see any reason not to buy really. I run Storms on the road now for all the reasons you mentioned, it is nice to be able to go for a ride and not have to worry about wearing your tyres out. Got 1.5 k from a Brigdestone bt14 rear

    I use Bridgestone 020's. Excellent all rounders. Good grip and feel plus excellent life.

    I use Avon Azaros with a touring compound on my FJ. I use my bike for commuting so a good 80% of the miles are motorway miles. The tyres are good enough to get the pegs down.

    I only buy Avon tyres as I hope I am keeping British workers employed.

    I wouldn't try cranking it over in the wet. Good dry weather/long life tyre. Bloody scary in the wet.
