    The stock tyre that I got with the bike was
    Dunlop Arrowmax GT501
    It was good for road use and had a good gripping feel on the track
    When the time came for a change of tyres (18,000km) I tried
    MICHELIN PILOT ACTIV
    The only bad thing about it is on a cold wet day when entering a corner
    But besides that I think it has more grip then the Dunlop
    Might try Pirelli next

    Hey Revit
    Had Michelin Pilot 2 on a Suzuki and simply could not wear them out, great mileage. Had Pirelli diablo on a Honda CBR and got very poor mileage but decent grip. Am currently running Bridgestones on my CBR and couldn't be happier. My take is this, they are all good tyres, comes down to personal choice and price, shop around.

    I agree with you
    My Michelin has already run 9000km and there is no sign of wear. The logo is still there.
    But I still want to try out the Pirelli next due to the fact that they have the best wet weather grip. Which would be essential during these wet rainy days
    However with the extra great mileage of the Michelin, it might be another 2 years before I need to change my tyres
