I have pilot powers and i really like them there may be better tire but i like them to much to try anything else. I have about 6K miles on them and the tire still half a lot of life yet granted i am doing most of my ridding in town which doesn't eat tire like the back roads do but i am very impressed with them

I have Avon Azzaros (Sports Touring) they even LOOK sticky and they handle brilliantly!

Conti Road Attacks. Excellent lifespan and handling in my experience.

Just had a pair of Pilot Road 2's fitted. No idea of how well they will last yet, but feel great, better even than the Diablo's we were using before.

Pilot road 2's just fitted here too, astounded as to how much better feel than the Z6's. As above, got to wait a while till i see how they last. though 6k and the Z6 was pretty well squared off.....

Z4's. They slide so easily you'll feel like a MotoGP god.

Otherwise, if you want something thats any good then get Mmetzeler MEZ6's, they are very good at making you feel safe and confident on the bike
