Tire for 18,0000~20,000 miles Empty Tire for 18,0000~20,000 miles

I currently have a Dunlop SP 5000 195/60/16 non run flat with approx 11,000 under my '08 GL1800. It is my second SP 5000 and the first was removed at 8,000 in favor of a fresh one (the one that is on now) for a Rally.
I like the tire(s), however I need a tire that will provide me 18,000~20,000 miles and I don't think the SP 5000 will get that mileage.
Can anyone post up any mileage they have received from a SP 5000 or alternatively recommend a tire that will yield 18~20K

I would imagine any CT would. It depends on how you ride. What I'd like is one to last 30k with my aggressive cornering style! Twisted Evil

Tire for 18,0000~20,000 miles Empty Highest Mileage CT's??

At least one or two folks ran a Vanco (sorry, don't recall the model or size...it's on the DS list...) which I thought was a light truck tire. From the gl board, there were some impressive mileages being obtained using that.

Based on a sample of one (Kuhmo), I was nearly able to match my best rear tire MT mileage ever on my 'Wing, which was the OEM Dunlop D250. I wrung 13.5k out of the MT; the Kuhmo was a bit over 12k. I was impressed that it was evenly worn as well.

My typical annual mileage has been 10k to 12k since I've had the bike. Mine is predominately a pleasure vehicle, yet I do periodically flog the beast. Miles like those are tough; what are you getting for front tire life?

Hope that helped.
