Rear Tire Wear

I've been happy with my Metzeler M1's. 5K from the rear. If you like turning, use a 180/55 rear, you'll thank me.
 
I got 5600-5800 out of my original 'stone. That was replaced with a 020 which was replaced a little early at 10,200 on the odo. I changed it because I didn't think it would hold up for the 2k mile trip I had planned and the front needed changing as it was the original front. I was gonna change brands of tires and refuse to mis-match tires for road use. So I replaced with a set of Continentals. They have over 2k on them now with little signs of wear. I was gonna get the Michelin Pilot Roads, but I could not get them in time to mount - the distributor had them on back order. Same for the HPX. So I got the Conti's. I'm happy so far, and they were cheaper (msrp $144 rear, $90 front, not discount retailer price, but dealer, and I got a discount from that)
