Default Best New Tire?

I searched, seems everyone likes the Pilot Powers for daily/track riding.

Anyone have a preferential favorite besides the Pilot?

I'm looking at the end of the life on the OEM tire (Battle Axe) and plan on hitting mulitple track days in 06.

Any suggestions?

No Slicks!!

Power or diablo. You won't outride either of those and you will get decent mileage out of them on the street as long as you watch your pressures.

My friends have Pilot Powers on their bikes (some street, some track). I have Power Race on my trackbike, and they are kickass.
