I've had 2 sets of dunlop roadsmarts... which I've toured on, scratched on, & pootled around on and have been rock solid in all conditions, but now there's the sportsmart which are very highly rated, sticky & long life. To be honest I think we're spoilt for choice>> Metz M5, Dunlop Sportsmart, Michelin pilot pure etc etc all supposed to offer great grip & life.
I'll be going for the M5 no... Sportsmart no... M5 no... see what I mean!

Im in a similar position running Bridgestone BT014s, getting a new rear on Friday cos the front still has plenty of life left in it. Might consider a change when I get a pair or a new bike!!!

Ryan, I had a set of Dunlop Roadsmarts put on my 10 by Micheldever Tyres (not far from you) and they were very reasonably priced - I can't fault the tyres so far, but it's too early to comment on mileage. I decided to go for something more road-biased than out-and-out sports to try and get a bit of decent life from them and they certainly grip well enough [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

This last Bike mag put all the latest sport touring tyres up against each other and the Bridge BT's came out on top, so maybe have a look at them??? and no they didnt just use them on the road they tested them on road and track.

Ry, i used to run an avon viper on the front and an avon storm on the back of the gsxr thou, and used to give it "a pasting" and never had a moment of panic...
good in the wet too.....

I use Bridgestone BT's on my ZX9R and they grip brilliantly in the wet and dry great all round tyres
