Like Kissofdeath I too am looking new rubber for my Veek . I've used Bridgestone A40's, good mileage for the rear, 7k, but I never liked them, to harsh. Then I went to pilot roads, 4 and 5's, great tyre but short lived. The 4's where OK, 5k rear but the road 5 only lasted 4k, to short for me, all rears where the standard tyre not the trail. Last change was to aneeke3's, back to good mileage, should last 7k but poor wet grip and harsh front tyre like the Bridgestones. Might try Pirelli scorpion trail 2's next or thinking of mixing tyres. I like the Michelin road 5, or 4 fronts as they grip well but also they're soft side walled so don't feel harsh on bumps (the Veek has to much high speed compression damping in the forks) and combine that with any cheap rear I can get.
