I have not mastered the Kentucky/Tennessee curves.  I try to ride them at least one week per year.  That said, I have seen big differences in mileage.   Elite series 3 or 4 are double what you get on the Factory tires.  Michelin doesn’t make a direct replacement for the Rocket Touring model.  180s compared t 185s.  Not much different.  I’ve ran Michelin on my touring  for 3 straight rears.  Always got 15,000 miles plus.  The fronts,  have done well with Elites.
