Z6 or Strada's were my preference, In fact will probably put one of these pairs on the T'bird next.

Cheers Mark.
Unless they are cheap...I have Stradas on at the mo - I'm looking at around 185 ish fitted, whereas the special offer at Busters for Michelin Pilot Powers, are 113 delivered, with another 25 on top for fitting...

Ideally I'd go for stradas again, but I cant justify the additional 50 quid or so...

I don't have my SV anymore but I've got a pair of Conti Road Attacks on my MT-03, so far I'm very impressed by them, good for sprited hooning and seem to be lasting well. Pretty cheap compared to the competition sport touring tyres out there.

My second choice would be Avon Storm STs'.

Avon Storms for defo, I've got them on the black and Avon Azaros on Suze, YorkieChris has storms on his, Melody will be getting some on hers on Wednesday I believe, I'm almost right in thinking Luckypants is getting some on his viffer too.
They're superb all year. Grip the road great and are just a really good all round tyre.

As said everyone prefers different tyres, personally it's the Pirelli Diablo Strada / Metzeler Roadtec Z6.

Try making it a poll and see what transpires. From the replys to this so far you have 10 recommendations with 5 votes for Strada/Z6, 1 for the BT021, 1 for the RoadSmart, 1 Road Attack, 1 BT016, 1 Avon Storms.

If you search the tyre section for the options you are considering you'll find plenty of polls. When I look it was the Strada that won them all and thats why I bought them, and they've been great. Grip and much happier to tip into corners and stay steady at lean than the D220.
