I'm quite a fan of the Bridgestone 016. Awesome grip and gives plenty of feel. The wet performance isn't quite up to par and I thrashed my way through a set in 2.5k. But I did like the tyre, it inspired a lot of confidence and I always felt it had more to give. I felt encouraged to push just that little bit further and they coped with everything I through at them.

If you don't mind burning through tyres like nobody's business then it's a good choice.

Also, +1 for PR3's plenty of grip wet or dry and mine are still going strong after 4.5k hard (read-hard by my standards) riding.
