Avons front and back
Like 'em
Front one has already doubled the milage of the original Metz and there is still plenty left and doesn't track the road imperfections either. Back one is still fairly new so I have no real opinion about it yet, apart from that I'm happy with it

Metzlers... Me880's front and rear. Great handling and good mileage.

Michelin Commander II on the rear now, like it so much that I would put one on the front if they made the size I run. Good wet weather traction, nice grip. Seems to be a winner so far.
IRC Wildflare up front.
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Me too. Just recently (~1000 miles ago) went to the ME880 in front and I like it much better than the original LaserTech.

Dunlop 404 up front I think, not sure on the numbers. Like it so far but haven't put many miles on it. IRC Wild Flare in back, love it, handles well wet or dry and is inexpensive. Wears a little fast but about evens out when compared price vs. mileage.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Dunlop 404 front & back. Like em. 3rd set. 8500km per set but good handling and grip in the wet.
Cheers, Richard

+1 on the Commander II, Just as Dave said it here, really diggin it, wish they made a front, even wrote them to do so.
Bridgestone S-11 up front, like them also.
BTW I'd consider my riding style semi-aggressive, fast take off's but not like a jack ass, usually round 4k-5k rpm , not heavy on the brakes at all, rather downshift.  I know but it does affect tire life.
