The best road tyres IMO are Michelin Pilot Road 2CT. Grippy enough in the dry to allow full lean, excellent in the rain and good life too - currently up to 6000 miles on the ER6 with another 3-4k left in them.
Not quite as sticky as Pilot Power 2CT, but not so that you'd notice. The latter are great too - took me to a 4th place in the rain when my wets failed to turn up
Still scarred by Mich Pilot Sport tyres I tried a few years ago - terrible tyres - swore I'd never buy Mich again!!
Pilot Sports don't compare. Power 2CTs are superb, but on the balance of things I prefer the Road 2's for the extra mileage and better wet weather grip. They are all you need for a road tyre and nothing leaves my Triumph on the road which, runs Pilot Road 2's.
Couldn't get my hands on 2CT's a few months ago in time. went for BT016's and WOW!! The Diablo III's never inspired me. The 016's have given me a new lease with the bike.
