You're definitely doing better with this CBR250 than I can do with Teresa+K73 "rain tires" - I'll replace them when the front one wears off (won't really last longer than 10000km)... the rear will be replaced with the same type for the time being, the front easily outlives the current rear one... these things are... soft. Next time I'll go for durability, I hope the Michelin Pilot Roads have lower rolling resistance (it's said that they're good on wet road yet very durable). Metzeler Z6s were definitely better for FE and lasted for 28000km.

Oh, and I forgot, half of my rides are 2-up this summer.
