TIRES?? What tires are everyone running on their FJR?

I ran Pirelli Angle ST once. The performance seemed OK to me. Then I got a rear tire flat that I couldn't repair. My real complaint is that they only lasted 4k mi.

I found this comparison informative. https://roaddirt.tv/dunlop-roadsmart-iv-vs-michelin-road-6-final-results/. Also, I think Bridgestone just released their new Battlax T33 sport touring tire to add to your mix of choices.

I’ve been running the Pilot Road’s since 2009 on my ‘06 FJR. Think I started with version 2 and I’m up to version 6. I mainly commute all year, rain or shine in Seattle. I’ve never had much luck getting “full” mileage out of a set for various reasons-flats (Seattle roads are tire killers) and sometimes uneven wear. I have about 65k on the bike. But I love the way they ride and they stick in the rain. The PRs have saved my bacon a few times so I’ll stay with them.

I've always liked the Pilot Road GT on my '12. I commute in the South Puget Sound area most of the year. The roads around here, even the highways, eat tires for breakfast. 65K and on my sixth set of tires. I did like the Angle GTs, but not as much in the rain as the PRGTs. I've also ridden Bridgestone, Dunlop, and Metzler.
