The XTX eats tyres like no tomorrow. I'm on my 4th rear tyre in 8 months.

You could go down the road of using a non supermoto tyre but then you'll be sacrificing grip. Personally, I use Distanzias and love the tread pattern and the grip is fantastic. They are the longest lasting supermoto tyre I've found by far.

As for Pirelli Dragon tyres. You could wear out one of those tyres in a week. They are too soft and when I had Pirellis on my bike I had a few slips on the hot days in the summer. They melt so easily.
