Your gonna get a load of people sayin i prefer this n that, so it comes down to tryin them yourself really. I don`t run the same tyre all through the year, for warmer spring and summer climates i use Metzeler Racetec They are an awesome tyre for grip and feedback on whats happening, (same tyre as Pirrelli Supercorsa) For Winter and cooler times where you need a tyre that warms up faster i use Pirelli Diablo Corsa they warm up quicker and are better in the wet than the Racetec.

I`ve used Bridgestone BT-014 and found them adaquate for general use and good in the wet but not good enough for track or fast summer rides.

But....... haven`t used The pilot powers so i can`t comment, i didn`t like there predecessor though the Pilot sports etc. I found they where not so good in the cold and wet.

Pilot powers awesome road tyre but i do agree with anubis racetecs and super corsa's are the best tyre by far when it comes to grip and track use.Again it all comes down to your own preferance and budget and what you want from the tyre.A mate of mine in the uk is a mobile tyre fitter called Bike Tyre Services he will supply and fit at your house,work or track biketyreservices.co.uk or 07771962239.I have heard the bt 015 is supposed to be a good tyre.

latest issue of SportRider has reviewed about 27 tires for mid-size and full-size sportbikes
Dunlop Qualifier leads the pack (but gets beat-up sooner too)
Michelin Pilot Powers, Bridgestone BT-014 and Metzeler Sportec M-1 follow closely

i am gonna go with the Pilots
