Wow, I got 48XX out of my 014 rear, and 7100 on that front. I did run them too long down to chords on the back and the front was close.

I like the sport touring compounds out there right now. On my 1000rr right now I have a Dunlop Qualifier on the front with the Dunlop Roadsmart on the rear, I love it with this setup, I've clocked 3400 miles on the rear and it appears it's going to make at to about 7,000 or so, I've not had any major slips and we ride pretty aggressive on the mountain roads of NC. I'm likely going to stick with this setup unless I find a killer deal like I just missed. A local shop had a one day only Pirelli special on Rossos set of 120/180 for $189 and 120/190 or $199.
