Hmm.....

It's a balance, soft and grippy, or hard and not-so-grippy. Can't really have both.

My OE Tourances lasted 9000 miles, I've never had a tyre last that long before, TKC's are done in 1500 - 3500 miles (depending on the ride).

When you say OEM tyres are replaced, do you mean replaced with different brands? or just replaced with the same?
