What type / brand does everyone recommend for everyday riding tires? All weather in case the odd storm crops up

I got a set of Pirelli Diablo Supercoarsers on and OMFG if human to tire marriages were allowed id be there lol they are race tyres that are just about legal for the road even in england with our strict laws lol but i was out in a storm 3 days ago and they held up well still and were very warm when i pulled up just about 7 mins after setting off even in the rain

I run Michelin Pilot Roads and love them. They wear very well and give a lot of traction especially in rainy conditions.

yea i was looking at those tires the michelon pilot roads or w.e they are called. Those look like pretty good tires. I just went with the shinkos because they were the cheapest and all the reviews were positive, last long, good in rain etc.... those pilot roads def are nice tho i bet..

Hey streetfighter, what size rear tyre is that (180) it looks fat or is it just the angle?

I think based on response here, I'm gonna try the michelins the next time around, however, I'm still quite impressed with the qualifiers. What kinda price for a set of the pilot roads?
