It's definitely got a different feel, but you'll get used to it quickly. I've only ridden on it once since new tire, but didn't get a chance to lean on it yet.
There's a thread that extremelow started couple years ago I believe that talks about the wider tire and fallible long of falling once you get close to the lip. It'll be interesting to see how that goes!
I like the look!

Present!
Not saying I don't ride hard every now and again, I'm just saying every turn I make, I'm not trying to drag my face on the ground!
Where I live, there's quite a bit of straight line highway riding to get anywhere with turns. My last rear tire only gave me 3000 miles at best, so after confiding in a few forum members I decided to go with more rubber on the ground to get more out of the tire.

I hate to say it, but that 10 mm isn't going to make enough of a difference in tire life. The COMPOUND and air pressure of the tire will make the difference. What it _will_ do is screw up your cornering geometry.
If you want/need more mileage, go with a sport touring tire instead of an all out sport oriented tire. I'm leaning that way myself and am getting 7k+ miles out of the rear tire now. I commute a lot on mine rather than burn up the hills.

There's not a lot of hills where I live, or curves. (I live in South Jersey, aka flatland.) I need my tires more for distance than anything else. My other vehicle is a pickup truck. (I own horses, so have to have a truck, and it's a 21 mile round trip to take care of them everyday.) I get about 14 mpg w/the truck as compared to about 60 w/the bike. It's a no brainer as to which I take when the weather's good.
I just we had realized the tire was so bad in January. I had a operation on my knee, so wasn't riding anyway.
