I've got 4,000 miles on my set... Hard miles, both on- and off-road, and in the heat of the Texas summer at high speeds on our abrasive pavement surfaces...
And my front tire exhibits none of the odd wear pattern as shown by others. Just nice and rounded all the way from edge to edge. But note, I run the Yamaha (and Michelin) recommended 33 PSI up front (41 in the rear), not the higher pressures recommended by some here.
I still don't like the edge gripe level of the Anakee 3 rear (the edge grip seems to be fine up front), but it it does seem a bit better in that regard as I've gotten miles on them. Of course, that could be just getting used to them and unconsciously compensating for the lack of edge grip. The rear has squared off a bit, but my last couple of trips have required me to ride more slab than I normally do.
Looking at the wear rate my guess is that the rear will go about 7,000 miles, which would be an all-time high for me on the Super Tenere. That's the good news... The bad news is that the front is wearing nearly as quick as the rear (edge to edge, so it's not the 33 PSI pressure). I used to get two Metzeler Tournace EXP rear tires out of a front EXP. Doesn't look like that will be the case with the Michelin Anakee 3.
Just FYI...
