    Yes great tyre..but it's a sport tyre..

    So if commuting or you want more mileage I'd go or Bridgestone bt023

    Roadsmarts, i had these on and they were great and good mileage too, moved up to Sportsmart cuz i wanted something a bit more track friendly and softer compound.

    I'm running Pirelli diablo rosso corsa's and can't fault them, but.....

    ....I was reading a thread here 2 days ago where someone had done a Ron Haslam track day. All the CBR600's and fireblades were running BT023's and if these are good enough for the track plus they are classed as a sports touring tyre, so your going to get descent mileage aswell no brainer i'd say!!!
