I also like the Krylion Carbons for longevity/flat resistance.

Please realize that if you go for a tire with more longevity/flat resistance, you WILL be paying a penalty in performance.

Them's the breaks, kid.

Assuming your roads don't suck totally and you only weigh 125, you will probably get 3000-4000 miles from the rear, and more (maybe double that) from a front one.

Personally, I have moved from the Krylions to the BF-approved Continental GP4000s. They may not last quite as long but the performance and road feel is much better.
