Had a pair of Dunlop RoadSmart IV GT's fitted last Friday, they feel good so far but only 150 miles run.

Has anybody used two different brands/models of tires on the list and found one to wear longer?

My current bike has come with a set of 'new' Bridgestone Battlax 023 tyres, 3k in and they are OK, I prefer the Dunlop Roadsmart IV GT's though

How many km/miles did you get on the Roadsmart IV's?
Did you ride them down to the wear bars?

No idea, I only had them for 5 months before being knocked off, the bike was a right off.

Dunlop Mutants had been ordered, I'll report as soon as I empty the first fuel tank on them. The quote was €440 fitted for the pair.

I just put on a set of Michelin Road6 GTs. Huge difference from the Bridgestone Battlax That came off! Handling is a dream! Goes straight when it's supposed to, and drops into a corner without any effort!

Michelin have an offer, £30 off a pair of tyres at the moment. I believe it is $50 in the USA

Huge Difference?""
Were the Bridgestone's wore out? How many miles?
Or "Handling is a dream" compared to the new Bridgestone's?

No idea of how many miles we're on the Bridgestones. They were not to the wear bars, but noticeably flat on top . They were on the bike when I bought it at auction last October. I then rode it 2400 miles home.
Those tires required a definite push to get the bike to turn, and handling was stiff. I have no idea how new Bridgestones would perform. I'm very happy with the Michelin tires, though
