3500 miles but am on the original pirellis and those are sliding on me so I will spoon on some michelins. As for the brakes they need a good bleeding and I occasionally get soem headshake with hard braking at higher speeds. I have heard that these bikes do osscilate at times so I wasnt sure if its that or a warped rotor, but for track duty I def want better pads on there anyway.

Gotcha. 3k is all I got out of my stock pirelli's, so I hear ya there. You going with Pilot Powers or what??
Let me know what you think of them, I have about 2k left on my Angels and will not put another set on. When I ran powers before, I loved the rear but the front cupped very badly. Usually got ~6k on a set, normal riding.

Not sure what to go with next... Conti's, Bridgestone, Dunlop...

I swear by the pilot powers, an dnow that they have the pure or newer powers, the regular ones are cheaper. I have gotten well over 6k on a set and thats with touring/commuting miles too. I also used them on the track an dnever had an issue. I am slow to mid pack intermediate and never had the need to go with the more expensive tires.
