I like to get right over and ride on fast ride outs, but I also use the bike to ride to work daily. At the moment I have Dunlop D207's on and they are ok but I don't think they turn quick enough.

For that bike you want a grippy tire. The tires don't turn the bike so if the problem is the bike does not turn well it is you. Take a trackday school or post the question 'How to turn a sport bike'

The D207 is crap!! Whenever you buy a new bike remove the stock tires and get new ones.

If you want to turn, and it sounds like you do, you want sticky.

The stickiest Tire around is the Metzeler M1. It is sticky but it also wears fast. The grip is amazing and you can feel it.

Other recommended options for that bike are -M1, Metzeler M3, Pirelli Diablo, or Michelin 2CT.

I would not run anything else on that bike but one of these. I listed them in the order of preference.

With any of these longer lasting tires do not go by tread wear to determine when they are needing replacement. At 3000 miles they will start to get greasy and they should be replaced. You may consider the M1 on the front and the longer lasting M3 for the rear.

Check out some of the more high end Dunlops - they tend to have the best combination of handling and durability.

It can be tricky - because most of the best tires for handling are useless off the track. If you are riding mostly on the road then stay away from the high performance tires because the softer rubber gaurantees they won't last long on the street.

You want tires with a round profile to get over fast and smooth. I'm not familiar with the dunlop D207's but the Dunlops I once rode on had a corner between the tread and sidewall that gave it a 'hump' when leaning over.

I'm currently using a 'Metzler Marathon' on the back, and an 'Avon Roadrunner' on the front. On the back where most of the weight is, the harder round profile touring tire doesn't wear out as quickly. The softer sticky tire on the front helps in braking, when most of the weight shifts forward.

I switched for my stock Dunlops to Metzlers and was real surprised at how I could turn into the corners so much faster. I went to me4's I think. Get the size and compound that suits your style. Those rode great and got me 10,000 miles further down the road. I'm on Pirelli now and same great ride and wearing great!

I would put a Dunlop 752 knobby. This will allow you to go off road if a cop See's you doing fast ride outs. Then he will not be able to catch you.

I've always used Bridgestone BT010's or nowadays the newer BT014's on my GSXR750 & found them to be good value with superb predictable performance,have used them on a trackday too without problems.
I believe the Bridgestones have a harder compound centre tread section for daily riding and softer edge section for traction in corners making them ideal for your riding.
Hope this helps

after riding approx 30000 miles a year (sun,rain,ice,snow) for 5 years on one of these pocket rockets , i made my mind up to stay with Tirrell courser's after trying nearly all the makes. i also race these and sex 1000 and the Tirrell's suit my style of riding ,everyone has there favourites so you need to find yours but try these as they don't come much better. good luck and be safe and enjoy.
