    It depends on what you like and the tyre grip/wear is again dependent on the bike so take the advice from those with tl's rather than asking in general

    I have just put a pair of michelin pilot sports on my R1. Find them great in the wet and hang in there pretty good when am out playing hard, done about 1500km and they look to be wearing well. Got mine for $449 the set.

    BT002's (street) are sticky but I only get about 3k out of a rear and about 6k out of a front. I am going to try the Attacks next.
    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    I love pilot powers. Currently have metzeler m3's but I don't really like them. They stick like shit to a blanket but don't seem very predictable. Came very close to a high speed highside at puke the other week. I also tried going from the 180 rear to a 190 and hated it (big tank slappers cos it raised the rear too much)
