It all personal tbh but many of us like the pilot road 2 on the storm . They work very well and last too .
Also cheap now so that's good

+1 on the Michelin Pilot Road 2's........ been using them for last few yrs and I prefer them to the 3 & 4s and they cost less.......... result.

work well in all conditions from cold and wet to a bit of dry track day fun [although they are starting to get out of their depth if you push too hard] but are capable of full brain our craziness on the roads no problem :D

Michelin Pilot road and Pilot road2 are two very different tyres, the road is shite, the road2 is good..
