Apologies if this has been done a million times, but I don't get on here too often. I have an 06 RSVR which I have owned for 8 months. Only covered a couple of thousand miles but my Metzeler Racetech Interacts are now wasted. I am after a tyre which will last a little longer and have been told to consider Maxxis Super Sport Diamonds. Anyone any experience with these? I can get a pair fitted for £225 which doesn't seem too bad. Any other suggestions? I mainly do dry riding and although act like a hooligan now and then, most of the time I ride fairly moderately. I won't be using on the track.

What about Continental Road Attacks? Had these on a bike a few years ago and they were great. Nice and cheap too - about £200 fitted.

I have always been a pirelli supercorsa fan but my last pair I had were Dunlop GO racers which were awesomenot sure how good in the wet they are though, but for dry fantastic.

TBH mate I have no idea, it wasn't something that I was really bothered about. it was more so the feel and grip for me.
