I like fast twisty A road riding however still want some durability cause I like touring. Budget is about £150 fitted. Been riding for two and a half years. Bike has been modified with Devil race can, BMC filter and Re map. No other chassis mods. Suspension has been set up for me. Hope this helps. Dont really ride in the rain a lot. Does anyone?

We loved the Bridgestone BT010's, and quite happily changed to the 014's when the 010's were phased out................BUT..................we only got around 2,500 miles to a rear on the 014's. Stupid mileage. So now we are running with a pair of Pirelli Diablo's, but haven't had them on long enough to give a definite mileage expectation.
Had NO quibbles with the 014's about anything but the crap mileage.

Personally, I think I will stick with the 208's. Seem tp be a good all round tyre. Was going to go for the conti RA but hearing too many stories against them Im afraid.

Z6s for me too - I've done 3600 miles on mine, and they don't show any real signs of wear yet - I would say I am a quick rider on the road, so it is not as if I am riding liking a Scoobs
