Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP
Pirelli rears are stupid good and tell you everything they are doing or will do plus the slides are much more controlled.
MT21 front and D606 rear, both great wear on slab
The D606 rear had a nice price/off-road grip/road handling/distance. I’d get about 4500km before the rear needed changing which was not to bad for the price. The only negative I have with the D606 is it’s not great on wet bitchumen. Very easy to lock the rear and go sideways with the slightest dab of rear break.
Used up two sets on my Xr650l and love them. A bit noisy on the pavement but great off-road
D606 are really good for the street. I had them on my drz400 and the street cornering grip was amazing. I could hang with any other bike on the tight roads. They're not going to like high speed over 65mph. No complaints on the wear.
2020 gtr I threw on Pirelli P zero A/s+ a week after buying the car, they’ve been working great. No complaints and driving spiritedly is a lot more controlled
Having read all that above, I must say I’ve replaced multiple sets of tires and ride my 959 pretty aggressively on the street through the north central PA mountains and have never had a grip issue. I use Diablo Rosso 3s and get about 1500 miles from a set
I don't know what everyone else is doing but I'm coming up on 25K on my 2014 with 255/19 p-zeros. The fronts are 70%... not even close to giving up. The rears... well, they're about 30% but that's not the fault of the tires.
Below 40F the tires get hard and lose grip. Add a little bit of snow and they are slick as fuck. The awd helps but the overall loss of traction makes driving sketch as fuck.
Anecdotal, but I have Perelli Scorpions on my suv and will never get Perelli again. They wore unevenly and well short or their mileage and Perelli basically gave me the finger when I contacted them about the warranty.
