timboo is on a distinguished road
pirelli diablos

on my first R6 i ran dunlop 208's, which were fab in the warm/dry but deadly in the wet, hence i was a fair weather rider.

on my second R6 it initially cam with some michellin sport thingys, which were lethal as they seemed to have a mind of their own and grip one minute then slip the next... anyway i then purchased pirelli diablos and they are in fab both in rain and wet but only one down side is that they are a fairly soft tyre to wear down quick.

on my current xt660x it came with pirelli diablos :-) v gappy again fab in rain and wet. I'm using the bike in all weathers bar snow...... not mastered that yet, the bike is my commuter so wondering if there anything else out there that compares?
in terms of durability, cost and shear grip in most conditons except snow/ice.

i have been reading on here and those maxi things seem to be ok other than that i not got a clue.... p.s my bike will be used on road only
