I am on Pilot Roads, I really cannot see any difference in the tires at all. More importantly I cannot really feel any difference in them. These tires were sticky enough for me to drag pegs at the Lee Parks school and seem to wear like iron.
We rode a bunch of back roads on this (if you're going by time) but the miles were done on highways.
A light bike (425 wet) and reasonable power (65 HP at the wheel) and not a smooth riding style help keep the tires together.
I'm really happy with the setup as it is. It really does anything. I have some minor suspension mods coming up but I can't see needing anything more than the SV for my uses.
