I ride to work and back (short in town hard acceleration) and on the weekends take the good old curvey mountain roads of the Ozarks. Not a great rider yet (small chicken strips yet) The center of my dunlop 220 has a grove 3/4 around the tire and is showing some wear but not squared off. The tire and bike have only 2500 miles on them and handle, corner, stop great and havent had issues exept for the wear. I want a tire that wears longer and performs the same as the OEM Dunlop. The front tire looks almost new even with hard breaking (I weigh 240). The 08 FZ600 pulls pretty hard but it's no tire eating 1000 (I didn't think) My son runs a Bridgestone 020 and wears great on his Ninja650R. His bike has good low end torgue and he is 16 so its always wheelies and hard riding, though it won't keep up top end. I noticed his bike wobbles in corners (could be he is a newby) so I'm a little leary of the batlax.
