Road 6 or Power 6 for street rides?

Hi everyone, this is my second season on the Honda CBR650R. I currently have Dunlop tires from 2021 on the bike. The front tire has started cracking, even though there's still plenty of tread left. To avoid taking any risks, I want to replace them with new tires.

So here's my question:

Should I go with the Michelin Power 6 or rather the Road 6? What's the difference in terms of urban wear (mileage-wise — if anyone has that info)? Obviously, the Road 6 is more versatile and lasts longer, but I'd like something a bit grippier. However, if the Power 6 lasts less than 10,000 km, then there's not much point buying it for just one season...
