I have Michelin's on my F3 and they seem be pretty good. One of best tires out there according to what I'm hearing from my more experienced riding friends.

Michelin Pilot Power 2ct's
There harder in the middle and softer on the outsides.
So you get the best of both worlds

The 2CT woul dbe a good choice, but you'll give up a little mileage. But if you want mileage and good rain characteristics, you WILL give up some grip on the track.

Best street/track tire out there right now is the Rosso Corsa. But I'm only getting 2.5 trackdays out of them...and about a month of street duty (Fast L2 or Slow L3).

YMMV

2010 Motorcycle Tire Comparison

Based mostly on the above reviews I went with the Bridgestone BT-016s.

I've heard good things about them also. However, for track/street duty, most of the guys around here prefer the BT003.

A level 1 or slow level 2 rider may not notice a big difference though.

Get the q2's it's the BEST bang for your buck
200 bucks for front and rear you really can't get any better than that..
You might also want to try the First edition pilot powers since they are not as crazy as the other's like 2ct's or pures, or pilot power ones
