+1 for the battleaxe.  I got around 15,000 miles on mine before I replaced it with another one.

   I tried the Avon years ago and loved the ride and the look . Only got 6k before the cord was showing down the center of the tread.  Decided not to go that route again.

This might be a stupid question  Cheesy, but do you run the same pressure in a 200 tire as you do in a 180 tire......do you up it a pound or two?

I have run 42 - 44 on my battleaxe 200  No complaints so far about 8000 into the tire

I think the next 200 battleaxe tire I will run 40 and see if the wear is different

Most of my riding is on the highway    Front cobra 40-42

The very large contact patch and ease of turning combined with the front cobra work for me

Very minimal countersteering needed for smooth turns  the car tire I found I needed more input than seemed natural so I went back to MT



YMMV
