I think everybody will hold different opinions on their trye favourites.....I had some marshall's on the front of mine that got rave reviews on blackcircles.com but I found them bad as they caused me loads on wheelspin in the wet... I now have fulda's and they seem to be much better.

I'm running Yokohamas atm and I wouldnt recommend them!
High wear rate and not grippy in wet! :angry:

I might try Pirelli next as they good enough for Ferrari!
