    If you're going for Michelins then get the Power Pures 2CT's. The other tyre that gets highly rated is the Dunlop Sport Smarts.

    I have diablo rosso corsas and i cant complain about the grip they give, but i will be lucky to get over 2.5k out of the rear.

    As said the dunlop sportsmarts get great reviews and tyre life is much better. they are expensive for a reason

    I get great riding from perrelli Diablo corsa 3's, best tyre I have had for handling etc but they don't last as long as some. So depends on your intended use I suppose

    Gonna go for sportsmarts I reckon theres a few lads I ride with on 6 sports who use em and swear by them even in the wet! aslong as I can get weekend rides, a euro trip and a raz round spa and the ring this year im a happy lad! maybe a tad optimistic tho?

    Nobody is recommending Pirelli Angels... They have been getting good reviews in some other bike forums around the world... And they come in 190/55 for the rear.

    Personally I am tempted to try those out next.
