Default Which tire brand and style can you expect the most miles from?

I have a stock 1200 Sporty and as far as tires go I want the ones that last the longest under normal driving.
Thanks

most people here swear by metzlers or avons, but some are totally happy with the dunlops. Guess it just depends on the individuals riding style.

Bridgestones are probably the hardest you can buy, so they will wear slower. But be aware, you will sacrafice a little performance. A softer tire will grip better, but wear faster.

I'm hoping my Michelin Commanders last a long while - tried them about 1,000 miles ago.
