I just read this, it may provide some insight from the tire and motorcycle industry:

I'm considering adding the F6B to my current collection of one motorcycle, but will more than likely stay on MTs when the time comes to replace tires. Those touring tires will seem like they last forever compared to the tire life I'm used to getting on my Hayabusa over the years. Looking forward to having the "sport" Goldwing.
