[Ducati] Tire Recommendations

[TheGeek]

I had D220s on my Monster and got less than 5000 miles on the back (the
front would probably have lasted 10,000+)
but I never felt "settled" with those tires, I felt I bought a set of budget
tires and got what I call budget performance...
I accept that to ride at 80-85% and to feel planted, I need tires that are
not of the "high-milage" variety.
That being said, I bet most performance rears would still last as long as
the D220 did.
