A little bit about me: I commute everyday to work, 37 miles round trip with a about half highways that has some twists and curves to them. I'm just now getting into riding twisty roads around the area about once a month, riding around Alice's in Redwood City, CA and riding to Stinson Beach.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Michelin Pilot Street Radials. Can get them in a 140 for the rear, and a 110 or 120(?) for the front. There are some members on here (@nevadawolf) that have put some serious miles on them, with great tread still showing. They have good wet traction also, and seem to cover the range of cruising to mild twisty riding. I have a 140 on the rear, about 1500 miles on it, looks as new as the day I bought it. Similar riding habits to yours.
