Not too sure on this one as i've not logged them properly. Heres what i do know
Pro4 SC (Set 1) - 2900 Summer miles - these cracked badly where the two different coloured part meet and needed to be replaced.
Pro4 SC (Set 2) - 2600 Summer miles - these are still fine and should get a lot more miles from them.
GatorSkins - 7000 Summer/Winter miles - this is a rough amount as i've not got an exact record for this. These are on the way out but should get a few more miles out of them.

Horses for courses with tyres - what one man hates another one loves (like saddles!). Eric above hates Rubinos, where I ride nothing but Rubino Pros (slick and normal version) on both my bikes and think they are superb. Had 2 fairy visits in past 2.5 years of riding and commuting, grip well and ride nice. Weren't the pros. Was the tenner cheapos.

I've used quite a variety of tyres and found the Continental GP4000S tyres to be the best so far. I got about 6,000 miles out of them before they wore out. Nice performance and only picked up a couple of puncture towards the end of their life.
I've not tried Mk II out yet but the Continental 4 seasons version are also top notch. I'm moving over to 25c's and have a set in reserve.

In the interests of safety I have now replaced my front GP4000s after exactly 12,500 miles. Damn good value. A patch or canvas was showing and there were a couple of bulges on the sidewalls. RIP

Schwalbe Duranos seem to last 5 to 6000 miles before they become susceptible to more frequent puncturing. Normal rate seems to be about once or twice in the life of the tyre. Tried Michelin Pro 4 last Summer. Could not detect the alleged decrease in roiling resistance compared to Duranos. Slightly better ride due to the 25mm actually being 27mm. Had to abandon the Pro 4s for Winter due to getting slip on the back wheel when climbing or braking in the wet.

Almost certainly tempting fate but the original tyres that my T3 came with are still on the bike, done about 1200km on them now, riding nearly every day, potholes, country lanes, you name it. Not one puncture (!)

I'm not having much luck with my Conti GP4000s, been on for around a few thousand miles but have suffered a steady trickle of punctures this winter. Mainly rear wheel, and they are usually slow punctures (i.e. nothing while out on a ride, but flat in the shed the next morning).
