Nick, if you are doing primarily road miles like me then I can heartily recommend the Bridgestone Battlewings. Loads of grip wet or dry, I almost had the pegs down this morning Maybe time to dig the one piece and the sliders out and go roundabout surfing on the weekend
Not tried the Siracs but my rear tourance lasted less than 5k, I've been swapping tyres a lot for greenlaning jaunts so I have no accurate record of actual tyre life but in 10k miles I've used the following rears:

1 x Tourance
2 x MT21
1 x TKC80

and the TKC fitted at the moment is past its best.

I like the sound of these Battlewings, think I might try them next and stay on tarmac over the winter.Looks like roundandblack on ebay do them for a shade over �120 delivered which ain't bad.
