Well, here's the thing. People talked about getting 7-8000 miles out of a pilot road 2 on bikes like mine (like an s4r, twin, 4v, dohc)
I got 5500 and that was a stretch.
I never get what other people get. Ever.
I use a lot of throttle, and a lot of engine braking. Both of those eat rubber.
I'm just doomed to buying a rear tire every year and a front every other year (fronts seem to last a while)

Given how much time they spend in the air, I'm not terribly surprised.

I got 2500kms from the first Pirelli OEM Diablo I got with the bike , , , don't ask please . .. Then I got a set of Dunlop Qualifiers not the new ones . . got about 7000kms of the rear got a new one and at about 2500kms had the accident where the front had a cut so had to replace them . . under a lot of advice from this forum and pm, got a set of Michelin Power Pilot, series 1, great tires . . . jsut after 1000kms[600mls] at last got the little hairs cmnpletely off great grip, had to lear they're not as round as Dunlop or Pirelli so leaning was faster . . .have been playing around with tp to find them . . . hope to do it soon . . cause now,. I'll have to set up for wet . . . but avg for me has been 5000mls rear . . . so, either I do not know how to ride or what cause I dont rip the bike when I'm on it . .

Just put on a new rear angel. Sides were perfect, center cords showing slightly.
Got 6,878 miles on the old one. Since I don't lean that much (commuting, cruising around,stuff like that). I real happy, the grip is beyond my riding skills and rain running is a non-issue.
Great tires, not as grippy as the corsa 3's I switched from but still beyond my skill level.

I now have a 1000mls on the Michelin PR3s on the s4 and have to say they have made me a bit of a hooligan I'm even trying to get the knee down and I'm a tad over 45 and I'm supposed to have more sense.

I'm about 200 miles in an an angel st rear.
I like this tire. I like the profile. Its predictable tip over all the way to the edge.
Excellent dry traction. No miles in the wet yet.
So far I'm all smiles.

1000 mile update.
I still like the Angel. . . even though the flat spot has started in the center.
Wet traction is good enough for a power wheelie in standing water
