I have enjoyed D209s, Maxxis Diamonds and Michelin PR4s

If I was forced to make a choice I would go with Maxxis...

Depends on what you want them for, maximum grip for tracks days, maximum longevity for motorways :?:

Some of the tuber riders get big mileage out of the Michelin pilot road 4s but they're not cheap. Maxxis diamonds are a very heavy tyre and can slow the steering down. My own choice are Dunlop qualifiers. Average mileage and stable when right over on the edge. Not to pricey either. I have them on the xbs and speed triple. They'll go on the S1 when the time comes as well.
