    What is best for one person will not be best for another.

    I have stayed with Pirelli Corsas and rate them well in the dry. Can't comment though on wet performance.

    I still want to try Metzeler M7RR because they receive very high regard from many owners.

    I use M7rr which have great grip in dry and wet, they are my all round road tyre, but for summer I use Pirelli SC, awesome dry weather grip

    I've been using Michelin pilot power 3 for the past few years and love them. Fantastic grip in both wet and dry conditions. But as someone else said, what is good for one person, may not be good for another. Everyones riding style is different.

    There's not a 100% correct answer.
    Ask 10 different people, you'll get at least 5 different answers!
    Anyway, for what it's worth, here's mine:
    I ride all year, all weather. Been using Bridgestone S21s, they're turning almost 7.000miles. They will do probably around 8.000miles. Changing to S22s next.
    Note: I know guys that wear S21s in under 2.500miles... so...

    M7RR for me, can't fault them for road and work well on the track as well.

    The new Pirelli Rosso corsa will be the one although I have had Bridgestone S21 and S21evo about 2.5k mikes no issues now have super corsa and they are a different level but wouldn't want to ride them in the wet although in low temps and a little damp no issues just got to keep heat in them...,you want go wrong with the most up to date tyres from all the brands ...there websites are good for seeing what suits you needs...

    Fair enough point. A Repsol rider, for instance, would not be concerned about speed ratings.:)

    I thought that too. But a man never knows what sort of trinkets a 'lady';)) might like:D.

    Perhaps it's pitched to the 'Traveller's' market. Would look good parked next to the Winnebagos and Benzs and an old gypsy wagon in the background for character:).

    And what's with the paper? Looks as if it's going to be wrapped up like the old Fish and Chips in newspaper.

    Or, dare I introduce that dreaded name again - perhaps Banksy is going to paint a backdrop to it.:D

    I like Pilot Power's, I know there is more up to date tyre technology out there, but good grip in all conditions and wear well.
    But I don't do track days so if you do you may want to consider something better

    Probably going to get eaten alive now but I've always had Bt016 or 17 and never had issues
