Perhaps if you said where you feel the RA2s are lacking it might help people be a bit more specific.
Amy suggestions for a good tyre not worrying too much about tread life but more emphasis on grip and feel.
I was always a Bridgestone fan until the 021s which gave really bad mileage, I switched to Avon Storms which suit my riding style a lot better and give shed loads more feel and confidence. I've tried the 023s and am now back on the new Storm 3D XMs which I much prefer, even the misses could tell from the pillion seat that the bike was handling noticeably better with the Avons fitted.
I'd be wary about taking peoples given mileage as a guide, different sized people ride in different styles on different roads with different loads - I had two BT023 rears and they both only lasted 2800 miles ........
