Looking for some new tyres. Priorities are longevity to be honest, as I do so many miles, but something decently grippy goes without saying etc. 180 rear 120 front, 17 inch wheels.

Any suggestions? Budget isn't a huge concern as I get them at cost and with free fitting but preferably something that isn't too ludicrous would be good.

Thanks as always

bridgestone s20 are the best i ever used for grip. lasted ok too, but my route is twisty so no chance to flat off.

Perhaps look at a spot front, and dual compound sport tour rear?

For longevity I would think the Michelin Pilot Road 4 or metzeler Z8.

What bike are we talking about here?

Previously i'd always say pilot roads, i'm on Bridgestone T30's at the moment though and they seem pretty decent so far, only done about 5k in them though, decent in the wet and no sign of squaring at all yet

however they are quite pricey
