My stock Bridgestone BT015 rear is going to need to be replaced within the next 1000 miles and thought I'd see what everyone else runs as far as tires. I've ridden Michelin, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Pirelli and I'm trying to decide what my next tire is going to be; I've found great prices on the ones I have in mind.
Post up what you run for a tire, riding preference(straight, twisties..), good/bad experiences.
I ran Battleax BT021's on my GSXR 600. It's more of a sport touring tire so lasts a lot longer, plus its dual compound so grips well. They're pretty sticky when heated, only thing that annoyed the shit out of me was the flat spot in the middle, it got pretty noticable after 3000 miles or so.

The metzler's or the pirelli's are the best, and also have good wet traction. Michelin is always good just kind of pricey. Dunlops are decent and can usually be purchased cheap.
