I agree, I have had a pair on my old Diversion XJ900s and have had to change the rear tyre as it had a puncture at 9500 miles. Tread was down to 2.7 mm and could easily have hit the 10000 mile barrier with ease but at that tread depth a new one was way better than a repair.
Front tyre (fitted at same time just over a year ago) will do 10000 + and has 3mm+ tread left.
I do not ride excessively fast or agressively so I cannot comment on the handling of the tyre in all styles but for me it has always been great on my bike / weight / riding style combination.
