Default Advice needed on tyres

please can I have your opinions on new tyres. The bike is only used for weekend blasts i want the best dry grip that is available, not to much bothered about how long they will last as I dont get to use the bike too often.

sports tyres then really depends what you want to spend.

My BT-015 are like sh*t to a rug when warm, but useless otherwise.

If no one else has said it, welcome to the forum zeega t

I had BT-014s fitted recently and although I don't do much riding in the wet, so far, these are great! Presumably BT-015s are a later (and more track focused) development

The 014s were £180 fitted at Hawleys in Sheffield.

It's worth mentioning that some of the more focused track/sports rubber can work less well than normal road tyres until hot. Be realistic about what you're going to be asking of the tyres.

I'd say in general an SV650 works well on sports souring ruber, and there's tons of that about that works well.

That said, I've liked the Avon Vipers on the ZX6R, and many people have said very good things about the Diablo Corsa (I believe the Diablo Corsa III is the current model).
