Michellin 2CT's, dual compound tires. Harder rubber in the center for highway and normal riding, with softer rubber on the sides for excellent grip on the cornering. I ride only with Michellins now. This is my 3rd set of tires. I had Dunlops, then Michellin Pilot Powers and now the 2CT's.

www.yellowbook.com will help you find a shop to help you put them on. I got my tires online, and then took them to a shop in my town and had them mounted for like 30 bucks.

i run michelin pilot power 2cts also, i too will probably never go with a different tire
the grip level is amazing

another dual compound to think of is pirelli diablo corsa IIIs, but i've heard they don't last quite as long

Yeah, +1 ~ the shop wanted $215 for a Dunlop Qualifier installed. Found one on e-Bay for $138 shipped plus $35 for the mount = saved a few bucks
