Tire mileage continued...

Michelin Commanders by far the best tire on the road. To bad none for the Rocket Roadster.

1olbull, Michelin did talk about a GT version, but I don't know if it will be produced. I haven't seen one in this size. I'm happy with the standard version on the front of my R3R...10,000 miles and nowhere near worn out.

tdragger, Even though the Rocket is heavy, we're talking about a front wheel fitment. It seems to me that rear tires are built heavier and stronger than front tires, and a GT rear tire might be too stiff on a Rocket's front wheel.
I fitted a pair of Michelin Road 4 GTs to my Tiger 1050 and regretted it. I lost a lot of road feel, and lost some confidence in cornering. I blame it on the bike not being heavy enough to properly "work" a tire designed for a heavier bike. YMMV

Not exactly sure what you mean by "road feel", but sidewall flex is not a good thing and is counter productive to good handling. Flex in the tire creates uncertainty in tire friction to the road surface.
