Very hard compound tyre, will last forever but doesn't give that planted feel.

Good tires tho.

Pilot Power then Better option

Pilot road 2 or 3 are a good compromise.

They were the original fitment to the SV1000 in the UK.

Now replaced by the Pilot Road 2, and 3.

Single compound road tyre, "better option" depends on what exactly you want?

The RSV wears the edges of the Corsa 3's . Every one raves about CT2's.But for my riding having a hard cental part make no real sense as I don't tour or commute in the conventional sense.

I've been using Pilot Road for the last couple of sets of tyres and I like them. Dunno about lasting for ever though - I usually lucky to see 5000 miles out of the rear....

That's not to bad since you live in twisty road country. BTW far away from the border to England or Shrewsbury?

My tyres never see that much life, but track riding is track riding.

Bike: Curvy, stock forks and shock, heavier oil in forks.
The 3 last tyres I've tried or gone trough is
Pilot Power 2ct(120/60 & 160/60), heat cycles went over limit, blue shine on sides and thread below legal limit Ok tyre, felt good on road and track, but didn't give the confidence to push, felt a bit unstabil, but that could maybe due to the 60 front tyre. You can ride a bit active on rain with them, I've never been any where near knee scrape on wet with road tyres, and the only tyre I will maybe try it with is the Road 3 tyre.
Power Pure(120/70 & 160/60) went on next, very happy with them, quick heat up time, feels more planted and gave much more stability going over bumps during deep lean angles, gave the confidence to lean even further.
They came of before their end of life because I did a race with the SV.
Power One(120/70 & 160/70) as expected feels even more planted, confidence went up again, getting on the gas so early the rear squirms on exit, but never felt over the limit. It drops a bit quicker into corners, a few laps and your used to that. Getting on the gas early out off a chicane the SV was a bit wobbly with the pure, with the ones it was stabil and planted.

i just got the pilot road 3's so cant comment about life time or durability but going into the corners they are very nice dont feel scared to hang off bike a bit
