I have just put some Mechelin Anakee 2's on my Strom 1000. They handle much better than the old Bridgestone Trailwings. I just got back from the pyrenees and they were great, its also claimed that they allegedly last 29% longer than similar tyres. But that we will wait and see...
My friend has them on his GS and he also works in the tyre trade, says he wouldn't use any other tyre.

I had to get a new boot for the rear so i ended up getting a set of Heidenau's and see how they work out,I was kind of hoping that with all of our wizards of knowledge and stats here in the hub that someone may have stumbled across a new tyre compairison stats.I cannot seem to find any charts of milage compairisons based on average riders and i may have missed a post made here in the hub.I tried doing a search here but nothing had what i was looking for

Tyres is a bit of a mystery ,some guys get a lot of miles out of one brand and others don't ,however a good long range tyre if you want a pure road tyre is the Metzeler ME 880.
A dual sport high miler is the Metzeler Tourance . But they are a little more expensive than the rest so the cost per mile may be not so good .I've got Annakee 2s on my bike at the moment and wouldn't really say they were particularly long lasting ,but I did get them for a good price so I'm happy .Going to try Distanzias next as my son gets good mileage out of them on his DRZ .

Heidenau!
Mate,
Look into the Heidenau tyres. I just rode 27,000 km on my Heidenau scout front. For an idea, thats from Bolivia to USA. From Arizona to NJ and then NJ to Montana. I replaced it as I was replacing my Pirelli rear but the front still had cupping and could've done 30,000 km easy. I've seen the Heidenau rears as well, and they look NIIIIICE! A great dual sport rear. It was fitted on a few BMWs actually. Check em out! Affordable tyres too. Cheers, Rossy.

I currently have Michelin Anakees on my R1200GSA. They lasted longer than the previous Continentals but the front tire develops serious cupping patterns. (8,000mls).
