Replaced my Heidenau tyres today with Anakee II. Very happy with the Heidis, but seems I'm riding more tar than anything else recently... Going to be keeping the rear for future use, and will happily be going to a Heidi front when the need arises.
Front K60 - 40'000 km done; tyre no longer legal
Rear K60 - 16'000 km done; I'd guess at least 4'000 km left with my riding style
Yes, I'm generally easy on the throttle, and plan my braking. Cruising speed is around 120 - 130 km/h. Tyres were hardly ever purposefully deflated, pressures were kept around the recommended pressures, sometimes a bit harder when loaded and covering distance.
