I have 12k km on the original tires and they look fine. How much mileage did you get out of the original tires?
A buddy of mine went for bigger Michelin tires when he replaced his. He said he couldn't tell any difference. He recommended sticking with the OEM tires at the dealer.

I think bigger wider tire means more safety...

Re: How long on your first set of tires?
You would have to do the conversion but in miles I got around 7,000 miles on my rear tire and just about double that for my front tire. It will depend on a lot of factors though. Tire pressure is a big thing, as well as cornering speed, takeoff speed from lights, stopping, the weight carried on the bike, and the condition of the roads.
Currently own:

Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers
