I put Pilot Activ tyres, front and back, on my V7II. I had approx 9000+Km on the rear for the Sport Demon tyres.
The difference I find is that although the SDs have a wavey centreline on the front tyre, they are sensitive to grooves in the road.
The PVs have a straight centreline which is reputed to have problems following grooves etc. Not the case.
I have found that the Michelins are not inclined to follow grooves in the road.
As to relative stickiness, I have no comment as I am not a fast rider. I do find, however, that the front end seem to be a little 'skittish' when slowing down for lights, perhaps need a little more Km.
Cheers
