Rear tire that won't flatspot for SV650?

[AimlessMoto]

I've had PilotRoad2's for over 17 months now... 14,000 miles on the front and it JUST NOW started to get a bit of scalloping... I had one rear for 8,000 miles did a couple burn outs and well... needed a new one, so my current one has been on there for 6,000 miles and it's just now starting to flat in the middle.

Granted this is on a 500lb dual-sport that sees A LOT of highway commuting/hooliganism on the rear wheel.

16k? Awesome.

This is part of why I downsized from a 'liter bike' to a 650.

Avon makes a great tire. I had a set of Azaros that lasted me 13K. The Azaro was replaced by the Storm and now the Storm ST, dual compound, which are now on Annalisa's CBR.

They're great in the wet and dry and have plenty of grip. Not sure on mileage yet, as they on;y have a couple thousand miles on them and still look brand new.

Where are they less than $200 a set?....I need 190/55 but even the SV with its 180, Im betting you still cant find a set of orig PP for less than $200.

Last time I got them with a 190 for my Rex, it was $215 shipped.

Bet all you want, not hard to find the deals on the internet.

Last riding season I got a set of Pilot Power 2CTs for $208 shipped off of an internet special. 190/55-17 rear and 120/70-17 front.
