Any suggestions? Given the front doesn't wear that fast compared to the rear, I'm after something in the way of a road/track tyre that grips as well as can be hoped in dry and wet. I used to run pilot powers race on my streeet/track bike---this is probably what I will go for unless there is something better?
Stickiest front road tyre for the SM?

The most sticky tyre I've tried is the Michelin Power One(Have it on my gixxer 1000).
When warmed up ,it's the greatest road legal tyre I ever tried
Just like a good track tire, but not so great in the wet/rain.
The Bt016 is also a great tire (have it on my drz).
