I did put some Pilot Activs on my V7C, and I wish I would have gone with the Pirelli Sport Demons again as the Michelins seem a little "squirelly" on this bike. I may go back to the Sport Demon on the front, but I'm not sure how much that affect the handling.

I've been thinking about getting the Pilot Activs too, but now I'm second guessing..

What pressures are you running?  Maybe that's it.  I ran the Pilot Activ on my Bassa and it was a great tire.  Peg dragging great.

I never got anywhere close to 10k on any front.. mostly Pirelli Angels.. 7k maybe.. I did burn thru a rear Angel on my Uly in 4.500 miles.. got new PR4's last fall ($232. for the pair!) and like alot!

The Stelvio front tire (Michelin Pilot Road) has 14,000 on it ... and that's with a LOT of two-up riding .... Probably will change it before doing any serious trips though.
