Default the honest answer
The bike that goes 48mph in a straight line on a cool day on a paved road with no sudden stops or heavy acceloration. Its gonna be more the rider than the bike

Not mine..... I ride it. That causes tire wear. I would bet the lightest, least powerful model, with the most conservative rider.

A 100lb girl riding a SG one up, with a dual compound tire with proper psi, that also rides conservatively.

Would it matter if it had a car tire on it? My car gets twice the mileage on the tires as my bike does.
