So far I have about 150 miles on my Pirelli Dragon GTS's.  At the Rallye
last year I saw a number of bikes with around 7K miles with these tyres.  It
was obvious they still had thousands of miles left on them.  Hopefully
someone else can comment on how long they really last.

I can say that these are the best tyres I've had the opportunity to try on
any bike, ever!  I'll admit my experience is limited, but these are awesome.
