Well I mounted this set up around the first of March. The tires have over 5,000 miles on them but probably not more than 6,000. I have been really impressed with the handling on these tires. I liked the Storms but was only getting 5 - 6K out of them and I like these better. They were supposed to have improved mileage and I may squeeze a few more miles out of them before they get changed. I'm just going to have to take it a little easier in the twisties as the wear bars are coming into play on the sides but the centers still have a little life left. They are wearing very even as far as I am concerned, no noticeable cupping and any uneven wear can be attributed to feeling better making left turns than making right turns.
After riding on them for a few days after mounting I was down to the "Storm" embedded in the rear tire and figured that was as far over as I would probably go. Well I proved myself wrong and have actually worn off all the TWI markings on the rear but not the front. The front I'm just to the "Storm" labels. Mind you I had not been dragging any hard parts at all during my riding but I do get it leaned over a bit from time to time. I ride more of a pace where I don't have to break before going into the turn and will accelerate out when I want to pick up the pace.
I don't think I'll get to the desired 8,000 miles I was looking for but I already have a second set of of Storm 2 Ultra's standing by.
