I've only ever used Metzler Tourance tyres on my Ten and find I get about 3k on the rear and 6k on the front. I ride mostly on-road with a lot of hard acceleration; I'm not interested in fuel economy :-) I find the dry handling is good (although I'm not a knee-down kind of chap) and the wet handling a little less predictable but still solid under braking. The rear tyre handles the bits of off-road that I do well, I'm not so sure about the front - This could say more about my ability than the tyre's though.
I like the chunky tread pattern on the 130 rear - it makes it look more like I think my bike should look!!!
