[The Hammer]

Supercorsa SP's are absolutely awesome for silly fast road and track use but really struggled on cold frosty mornings if thats an issue for you. Hugely confidence inspiring when warm. Wear very quick too, I killed a front in less than 3000 miles and a rear didnt last 2000.

Good all round tyres for road and occasional trackday? Metzler M7rr's are spot on, I used a set last year for a charity ride, tour round scotland and a trackday at cadwell - over 2,500 miles in 4 days and not a squeak from the tyres.
On my 996 atm? Perennial favourites are Dunlop D211's - using a 190/55 rear. Grippy as hell on track, yet really forgiving on road even in the rain in a way that supercorsas and racetecs aren't - they're bloody dreadful when it gets cold let alone wet!

Metzler Roadtec 01's and Michelin Road 4's get my vote for seriiously good mileage and rain riding...

I eventually went for the Metzler M7 RRs and I really like them. I took the rear up to a 190 and I like the way the bike handles now.
