Default Looking for replacment tires

I need to find new tires for a R6. What are some good tires? Where can I get them from? How much money should I expect to spend?

Dunlop 208s are ok. I like the Bridgestone 012ss. Love the Metzeler M1 Sportecs. The Pilot Sports are good tires as well, though far and above the most expensive. I'd pick the M1s first with the 12SS second. I may give the Bridgestone bt10s a shot next. They may wear better as street tires now that I have a set of designated track/canyon tires. You can get a set for the above for around $220ish. Also factor in mounting/balancing and disposal fees as well as shipping/taxes.

Have had great luck with Dunlop D207RR's, Dunlop D208's, M1's, and Pilot Sports. All excellent tires.

I've run D207's for a while, and I replaced the tires on my FZR (which someone should buy ) recently with D208s, but mostly because they didn't have any BT010s in stock at the time. I think I prefer the Bridgestones slightly more.

M1s seem to be THE tire to have around here.

I have 207s on mine now (25 miles old when I bought the bike). When they wear out I'm gettin M1s.
