I went from 207GP stars on my 996 to 208GP's on the Bostrom and finally onto 209Gp's on the R only 4 days ago in Jerez, straight from a 208GP and instantly went quicker, felt more solid and way more grip.

Personally I've never got on with super corsa's and the only other tyres I ran on a duke were BT010's when they first came out and they were suprisingly good

Well Lily and Butch, after reading your rave reviews on the 209gp I have bought a pair, so I will try them out and see what I think.

I take it that you tried them first on track and liked them but i
hope that they are ok on the road !!

I never ride in the wet, mainly country roads and I found the Diablo corsa very good, are these even more sticky, ok for the road and what mileage do you think that I can expect.
Also do they come in different compounds or just the one.

I hope they are ok for the road or they will be getting swapped for a rear diablo corsa !!

I've got the Michelin Pilots Sports that came on my 749 and they suit it really well although I can find their limits they have plenty of feel. I seem to be wearing the front more than the rear after 2200 miles and will most likley have to replace the pair by 3000. I picked up a rear Hi-Sport for 70 quid to try and I'll either stick a used 207RR I've got kicking around on the front or see what comes up cheap. If I have to pay normal price I'll have a 60 profile 207RR for extra front end grip.
