Default Tyres for SV650 S

Just wondering what are good tyres that arent too expensive. I ride in all weathers and all year as its my only ode of transport.

I have been looking at Pirelli diablo's are they good.
I had bridgestone bt 020 on before just fancy a change

Ran a strada rear and diablo front and was chuffed enough to replace like for like when they needed it.


Edit: So that's not helpful really - ignore me.

Ive not tried them but they seem to be popular!

I like Pilot Road 2's but they are expensive... but then you can get 10K out of a rear if you dont mind riding a square tyre for the last part.

I had the 020's & quite liked them - any specific reason for the change or is it that you just fancy something different?
