fitted dunlop roadsmart some 6k ago seem OK
I have a gravel drive
the dunlops have a wider tread groove than the P3's
result more gravel in the shed, just something i noticed , with bare feet.
Unless you're Marc Márquez on a raceday, you shouldn't have any trouble with the Exedra Max Radials.

http://www.tyresforbikes.com.au/index.html recommended them as the toughest and longest wearing tyre for the ST1300s. My last front had about 15,000kms on it from riding around Australia and wear was hardly noticeable. As the ST was two up and towing a 150+kg trailer, the rear as copping a flogging and was changed in Perth. It had about 10,000kms on it and another few left in it, before the bike was taken out by the gate. Winding wet roads, such as the Great Ocean Road, were no trouble at all (so long as you stay off the green mossy parts at the western end!)
My new ST1300 has PR3 tyres and I rode it town on Tuesday and then about 10kms to meet with Scarlet Thunderbolt for smoko.
These tyres don't feel any better than the Exedra Max tyres did, in the dry.
It's very hard for a smooth "pilot" to out ride the grip of any of the top grade tyres on an ST1300, so it probably doesn't matter whether you get Metzeler Z8, Pirelli Angel GT, Michelin PR4, Bridgestone Exedra Max or T30 GT Radials etc. They all offer good grip and their wear rates are very much dependent on your riding styles and conditions.
