Hello,
I've used Dunlop 208's, Metzeler M-1's and now Michelin Pilot Powers...IMHO, the Michelin's are the best.
Equal 'stickiness' to the others, but at least twice the mileage. I ride the 'twisties' most often, and if I got 1500mi.+ out of the 208's or M-1' I was happy. I just replaced the rear MPP after nearly 5000mi...yes, 5000mi.

yeah man if u don't know much about bikes then listen to "rumblefish" he is right on the money dunlops are **** they aren't as sticky and they don't get any mileage at all...my friend had metzelers and they never heated up...i have a set of Michelin Pilot Powers and i could not be happier...on the gas as hard as possible right out of the shop straight to the twisties...no break in period or warm up time required...they're fully synthetic compound silica and wear awesome... check out ebay or www.terrapowersports.com for some good prices
