Re: What tires ???

All depends what you're looking for in a tire. Do you want grip, handling, smooth ride, low noise, long tread life, wet/dry traction... A few of these things are mutually exclusive (You get one at the exclusion of others).

For myself, I prefer performance, so I compromise on the other factors. The most grippy tires generally have poor comfort and noise levels and wear quickly, but it's a price I'm willing to pay. I'm currently running General Exclaim UHP's, which I have come to despise. Next up will probably be Dunlop Star Specs or Nitto NT05's.
