I run 49/50 combo. Yeah the rear wears out pretty fast
but it doesn't bother me. I bet it still goes 3-3500 mi.
And it sure feels nice heeled over. If I ride to Laguna Seca
I will put a 46 on there but keep the 49 up front.
It (49 front) has a lot of longevity for having so much grip, imo -- 6K 
easy I would say.

For me, I ain't gonna cut the performance of my performance-oriented
motorcycle to save $100-150 per year. Know what I mean?

Now if I rode 20K per year obviously it would be a different story....
