Worth shopping around Oponeo worth a look.

Ive had good feed back on K80sr from a few customers, prior to that was using K61 Heidenhau tyres.
Twist and S1 are not what they used to be

Not a lammy but my gts was shocking in the wet with city grips now have k58 on and I can say it's a night and day transformation

Tyres, like oil, are very much a preference thing.

Whichever one you go for it's got to be a balance. Wear and tear and grip. As has been said only you will know what suits your style.

I never mind if they wear out quicker than others as long it's reasonable. I figure that if they're soft then they will grip better. So it gets down to if you want sport, road or rain. You want the tyres to warm up fairly quick and stay warm. Since we are on the road and not a circuit keeping tyres warm is the struggle.
