Michelin Pilot Power 120/70/17 front and a 180/55/17 rear. When I first got my bike, I would go through rears at about 3000 miles, and fronts every 9000.

I do about 1 track day every other year, and ride spirited whenever I head out on the back-country roads.

I wonder if a dual-compound would be good for my situation? I haven't looked into buying tires in a couple years now.
