perhaps a more balanced opinion can be had from looking at the tyre section

Cheers Mark.

I am currently using Contimotions, yes they have a name that sounds like it means poo, but it was not just this that made me want them. Good price and excellent grip for a girly rider like me. Very impressed with them so far.

Always used Road Attacks before that, but found I went through rear tyres quite quickly, grip was always good though.

I went though the tyre reviews here a while back and found it quite helpful, especially when some one pointed out that most modern tyres tend to be quite good anyway.

Tyres depends on how & when you drive, what you want your tyres to offer you...
Rain, sun, snow, polarbears, hailstorms go for pilot road 3, if you only like bikini weather and fast fast go with power pure, if you like long trips and need miles from tyres go with something like road 2, or just buy them all and change them has often has you change your shoes
