Riding twisties a lot can actually increase your mileage since you are riding less miles on the center of the tire & your rear tire won't square off like it does just riding the super slab. Contrary to most peoples belief, riding with max or a little higher are pressure will increase your tire life, the tire flexes less & runs cooler, the hotter the tire the softer the rubber compound gets & the more it will wear. It might not ride as smoothly, but it will get better mileage.

Stock tires on 2017 Limited which just turned 18 k miles last weekend on a 1700 mile ride.
They look GREAT and the rear is not cupping last previous I had. I keep the tire pressure to the top.
I actually had a BMW rider at a gas stop tell me there is no way they are stock tires. I figure another 2 k or so and I'll change them just for safety.
About 95% of my riding is two up and 65% interstate and the rest two lanes including the Blue Ridge Parkway,
