Default tyres{which ones are best}

I know the question has been asked before but which ones are best?.
My riding is done both in the wet and the dry but not on the track.
I am currently on the original tyres with 7500 miles on the clock on a 00sv, your views would be greatly appreciated.

Metz Z6's are awesome, as are Conti Road Attacks on the SV... Both worth a look

I realy loved Metz M1 on the front but i went through a front tyre in 5000 miles (it had a tad of tread befrore i changed it).

I will probably go back next time i change tyres, dont know. They just felt much better than the Z6's i put on. Not to say the Z6's are bad as its what i used on my holiday abroad 3500 miles.

I've got diablo stradas on mine, they appear to be very good in the dry and wet, can't rate them enough.

I thought the Z6s had the same carcase and have a harder compound with a different tread pattern. The strada's are slightly softer.

Not a whole lot in it though

i'm very happy with my Bridgestone bt020's they have plenty of grip and have lasted 7k and still going,

previouly i had bt010 which were definalty more grippy but the rear was done after 4.5k. The OEM were pretty good but again on the soft side and kept wearing out
