Right you all know its a boring question, but you are reading it anyway so I hope you will take the time to answer it!:D

I am currently needing a new set of tyres for my k3 gsxr 1000. I usually run supersorsa's in a 190/200 55 guise but the weather is crap now and it would be a waste for the kind of riding i would be doing. I do a lot of miles and will need a new set anyway before the good weather really arrives.

Would be nice to get a few more miles than normal too! What do you all run in the bad weather?
 
I run Pirelli angel,best tyre ive used so far !! the mileage is amazing and grip is decent in wet weather

use em on my zx10 and no probs
 
One the BT016 front and BT021 rear have worn down on my bike I'll be fitting some pilot road 4's, I ride in all weathers and do 200 miles a week so they're perfect for me.

£191 for a set on tyre leader, 160 rear so slightly smaller than normal.

The pilot road 4s are amazing. I went from roadsmarts on one bike and bt21s on another and the difference is night and day! Just wish I could get them for my old KZ1000.
 
Much better going for an all-round tyre especially at this time of year, with tyres like Supercorsa's having very little tread they take a long time to generate enough heat for them to start giving decent grip, and also cool down quicker again as you're riding about gently.

They don't do a very good job at shifting water either, and with being a softer compound you'll more likely just square them off before any good weather riding is possible.
