I've got an M1000XR on order and it looks like it comes on RS11.

I won't be taking it on track at all so I assume the RS11 will be wasted on me.

Previously a fan of S22 (had them fitted to my MT10 and loved them) but recently converted to Road 6 for the Pikes Peak and love them equally (allegedly superior grip in the wet and harder wearing than S22, but just as grippy in the dry, although I don't push it to the limit so would struggle to tell the difference in grip levels between the two on the road).

I would prefer to stick with Michelin or Bridgestone (something Ryan F9 said about even silica distribution makes me lean towards Michelin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLSfj_-2yZ0&t=312s).

I do mainly very spirited weekend backlane scratching and one or two long tours around Europe each year so I'm guessing a sports touring tyre would suit my use case better.

However it doesn't look like Road 6 or T32 are available in a 200 rear (at least for now, not sure if either manufacturer will add this size at a later date?) so I guess I'm looking at either Power 6 or S23?

Any input as to how these two compare in terms of dry grip, wet grip and mileage?

I don't push it to the limit but it's nice to have the confidence that you've got the extra grip there if you need to lean the bike a bit further. Some of the roads round here are a little gravelly in some patches so would opt for wet / loose surface grip and mileage over outright dry grip on perfect tarmac.

I appreciate the S23 is still quite a new tyre so might not be that many in here with experience of it.
