Tyres is one of them things everyone has there favourite. I love the battlax T30's. But if you have found one you like stick with it

last december i fitted a pair of pilot road 3,s , and have done 4000 miles since and theres loadsa meat left .

bike was ragged round the highlands last year for 10 days ,and i found the pilot 3,s very very good espesh in the wet .

dont do track days but tend to be fast on the road ,and i,m very impressed with the wear rate and levels of grip .

would deffo buy these again .and there a bit cheaper than the pilot road 4,s .

Dunlop sportsmart are an excellent tyre, would be my first choice definitely. My new V4 has Michelin Pilot's on and I've only covered 230 miles as I run the engine in so can't really comment too much on them.
I wouldn't mind trying the metzlers as I've read very good reviews and if they're good enough for the TT then they can't be bad.
Dunlops will always be my default though.

I didn't like the stock tires at all. I put on a set of PP3s and didn't help or seem much better. I now have Q3s and love them. They seem to pull you through the corner.

I had Dunlop SportSmarts on my old Fireblade and they were great all round tyres. The Corsas on my V4 have only lasted half as long and can feel a bit squirmy at times, but they offer infinitely more grip once you get used to that. Both great tyres and depends on how you use the bike. Mine is a Sunday summer toy, so I'll be sticking with the Corsas.
