    opinions are like arseholes... everyone has one...

    How many types have been listed already? Honestly mate, its not much help, but each person has their own idea of what they want, how they ride, what they want from the tyre.

    Simple example... death had dunlop 208/218 (can't remember which exactly), and so did I, granted, different bikes. Anyway, he loved the edgy feeling they have, I hated it.

    I'll stick my hand up for conti sportattacks. Had to get them when I couldn't get a 190 strada rear, and the 190/55 appealed to me. Done 1000k now, and really enjoying them. Stable as through corners, massive amount of lean angle can be achieved etc.

    You just have to get something, and see if you like it.

    Tyres for R6

    Michelin Pilot Powers are the best value traction and wear.

    Tried all the rest came back to these.

    Got my last set from the guys at Cycletreads in Auckland.

    Check out their website for details.
