Do you ride fast? In the rain? Do you mind replacing them every 2000 miles?
So many choices...........

Yes, all round tyres will be best, you'll get a lot of vibe and noise off the others... ;)

In my opinion Michelin P2 or P3's are the dog's danglies

I concur sir :clap:

For the uninitiated, Michelin Pilot Road 2 or 3. The 3 is later spec and triple compound (I think).....

Not user them myself on the s1 but the michelin pilot road 3's are very well respected amongst my fireblade friends who ride through the winter. ;)
They last well so would cope well with the s1 torque , I've seen knee down action in the wet with them (on the blade) and they go well in the dry, so a great all rounder. Will probably try them next on s1.
Biggest prob with the s1 is its savage torque any tyre thats vaguely soft and grippy is shredded in no time if you ride hard.
Trackday / hypersport road tyres dunlop gp 211 / pirelli super corsas, last longer on my 180+ bhp superstock blade than conti road attack 2 / bridge stone s20 / pirelli diblos on the s1 :roll:
Kevs suggestion bt023 is also worth considering as he does a lot of miles in all weathers. ;)
