    PR4s, after several sets of PR3s. so far excellent in the dry and on Monday totally surefooted in monsoon like conditions of torrential rain and standing water running in gulleys, then a mixture of dry and damp surfaces, excellent tyres.

    Im going to try some PR4s real soon, sound like they are worth swaying from Bridgestones...I Hope!

    I have PR4 use them on all weathers and after 3000 miles can't fault them ! Back still has a few 1000 left to go ! Amazing after using Metzler K3 lasting 1500 miles

    Diablo Rosso 2 or Corsa even better, loads of grip, for track I put on Dunlop D212 or wets depending on weather, I don't ride in the rain on the road though if i can help it :D otherwise I might get the PR4's that loads go on about ;)

    Bridgestone s20 but only good for 2 to 2.5k so if you ride every day maybe go down the T30 route

    Rosso 2s for me loads of confidence in hot and wet/damp roads, blade came with these on and I love them and where great on track Monday evening.
    Now off to have a pair put on my aprilia V4 and get rid of the awful Dunslop qualifiers :-(

    I've tried Bridgetsone (014, 015, 016 and 21's), Michelin 2CT's over the past 6 years. Then I found Dunlop Sportsmarts and now on Gp211 and have falling in love with them. I will either try 212Gp's or Supercorsa next as i've not tried Supercorsa as they have been highly recommended

    Rosso Corsa for me, they were on the bike when I bought it and I find them excellent.
    Not the best in the wet but I try to avoid that anyway.

    I've just fitted the S20 evo with the 55 rear in stead of the 50 profile, only put about 100 miles on them the now, seem ok but kinda of wishing I went with the Supercorsa.
