Tire Recommendation

I commute a lot on my bike. I milked 11K miles out of the D222's down to the wear bars, but really they were done after 9,000 or so, front and rear. Granted, I had about 20 miles almost daily of milled/scarified/ground/whatever-you-call-it highway for 8 months take to beans out of those poor OEM tires. When it came time I mounted Michelin Pilot Road 4's front and rear and I'm at 24K miles now with only some slight squaring but none of the wobbling and on transition edge traction issues I had when I dismounted the Dunlops.

Downside, they're pricey. Looking at $500 or more for the pair.
