As above, PR2s or Z6's. Leaning more towards PR2s than Z6 tho.

I've heard of litre bikes going touring in Europe & getting 5000 miles out of them happily. An SV650 will eat far less rubber than any litre bike.

I've got a D208 on the back of my ZX7 and a D207 on the front, and they're fine. Not desperately cheap for what it is, but it's grippy enough in the dry for a proper hoon, grippy enough on track for peg-down (doesn't work on grass though), and acceptable in the wet, unless you're a bit heavy handed.

Yes, there are no doubt better tyres, but until my set wear out together, I'll stick with what's on there, as they work fine.
