Ok, I'll play. Consider this a review of the Michelin Road 5 rear tire (150/70ZR17, reversed direction) run on the front - first recommended by @1olbull . I just replaced it and decided to take a photo showing the wear. Still plenty of tread in the middle (need to do more on the straights), but the sides are getting a spongy feel and I thought I should probably get some new shoes. I got 5300 miles out of this tire, which for me is a record.
For the first time I succeeded in changing my own tire. I got a Mojo Lever. I'll post more on that latter.....

That is great mileage from that Tyre, and great to see that you're not wasting any of that side rubber !
Do you know if these are available in a 140 section?

Paul, I don't see a 140 option from the distributor I use here in the states. My guess is no. I wish they made a Road 5 for the rear in our size that would last so well. The tread is impressively deep.

Hum? I get about 5k on a rear but usually more than that on a front. I just put that same tire on my Roadster so I’ll find out what I get. New Exedra Max on the rear at the same time.Ok, I'll play.

FYI -
The 150/70Zr17 has the same radius and circumference as the 140/75R17
