openeo (or something along those lines) are supposed to be good.

Run those all last year. Really nice tyre and even held up OK on the track. Did find there limits a couple of times but when they did let go they slid in a nice controlled way.
Found a nail in my rear tyre around November so need replacing when weather picks up. There going to get replaced with these I think

Roadsmart 2. I'm really impressed how it's lasting, around 6,000 miles (including 3 sessions at Brands Hatch) and it still looks very good.

They're great as long as you're not planning on doing many straight line miles! I was going to get a set but I do a fair few road miles. They square off a lot quicker than the Rosso Corsa's. My friends Panigale was showing signs of squaring off at just 800miles road use. Super sticky though
Had these on the zx6r pre-crash. Great tyre and warms up quick and plenty of grip in low temps/water. Cant comment on summer riding if they overheat etc but found them great for commuting and weekend runs

Do so little road miles these days let alone straight runs. Other then coming back from the OCUK meet last year I don't think it saw a motorway. Showing signs of squaring at 800 is a tad worrying. I was hoping to get at least 1.5k out of them. How long did your mates last.
He got our annual Germany / Ring trip out of a rear.. so about 1,200miles but that does in include 5/6laps of the 'Ring.
Out of a SC and hard riding yeah.. A rear Rosso Corsa will get to 3,000 miles with Road riding and a couple of trackdays as it's triple compound, that is what I use.
The SC is available is 2 compounds i think, but both are very soft.

Yep, I get pretty much the same as you edd1e out of a the Rosso Corsa. Think it was around 2700-3000 miles which included 2 trackdays, so I think they have done fantastically well. For the road they are the best tyre ive ever used.
