For a road biast tyre, you would be hard to beat the Michilin Anakee. I had these on my XT600E and they were FABULOUS !! Very quiet and easily peg scraping if you wanted to.
Extremely confidence inspiring on the road.. wet or dry !!
They arnt great offroad but they will handle gentle offroad without bother...
You will get WAY more than 5000 out of the rear.
Your tyre is the ONLY thing holding you and your bike to the tarmac.. You lose that grip and your on your arse.. SIMPLE !
I would always always go for good quality rubber with loads of grip over price and long life (as long as they last your trip) !
