Changed my rear tire(M9RR) at 21.000km, old front is still on(23.000km). Only problem with the rear tire was cords in the mid was showing,that's why i changed it. Which i'm using my z750 as a daily commuter, weekend carver and for distance touring. So, %80 urban riding, %10 B-roads, %10 touring(high-way-dirt,B-roads). I mean from -10° to +35° celcius,i am riding the bike everyday in every condition. Rain, Heavy Rain, Bit of Ice in the morning. Never ever had a problem with the braking,traction or sliding. Of course, if i was using the bike just for weekend or for trackdays, it would've been different(pinning the throttle all the time) altogether but i'm really happy with the M9RRs.

But there is a M9 in 120-70-19 with a V speed indication. Later this year a W speed indication wil be available (Ducati multi strada?). This tyre is working great on the heavy Beamer. I was really impressed with the stability of the bike with this tyres. The grip was really good and gave a lot of confidence. I didn’t run them in the wet and I have no idea about the durability. But actually I don’t care. The bike was fun with the Michelin Anakees and it is even more fun with te M9’s.

Having ridden SuperCorsa SPs on my S1000RR and M7 RRs, you're going to notice a huge grip drop off if you're warming up the SuperCorsa's to full operating temp (175-195 farenheit). At moderate temps, warm, but not hot, the M9 RRs will be solid. Personally, I don't get my tires anywhere near operating temperature on the street. Track, for sure. But I never ride hard enough on the street. The M7 RR's CRUSH the SuperCorsas in cool and wet weather, it isn't even remotely close. I imagine the M9 RR will be the same or better.

I am really interested in this as well, because I am currently looking for options to the S22 since the price went up 50%. My S22's lasted only two seasons + one whole day on the big track. What I found on my S22 is that the middle gets flat really fast if you ride on the street and the sides get really torn if you ride hard on the track. Without trying the M9RR I think it will be a good alternative for mainly street riding. My guess is that the M9RR will be harder all around which is better suitable for the streets.
