Go with the pirelli on the back and stick with the 180 on the rear

Just fitted a pair of Metzler Sportec M1's instead of the Contiforces (which I hated) - excellent so far much softer feeling ride, and give a lot of confidence in the front end too. Â£159 from M&P's

Diablos all the way buddy, I have a pair, knee down fuggin pegs down Exhaust well not yet but there ain't any lack of grip. Certainly unless you only ride on track, no point in getting stickier tires Diablos are pukka..

I have just put on yet another set of 207R's

I love em, lots of grip, last well and turn in a treat, my last rear was a 190/50.
Lots of straight line grip, BUT.....did not change direction very quickly, plus I hav to trim the hugger slightly to make sure it did not hit it when going fast, (cos tyres do swell you know)

Just replaced it with a 180/55, the "flickability" has returned, no less grip.
Another thing I love about 207s' is that they ar grippy from cold, as soon as the choke is in, the tyres are warm,

207's for me...
