Which Tires?

I've obviously lived longer than my current set of tires and therefor will have to invest in another set. I spend the week commuting the 15 miles, each way, to work. I then spend Saturday and Sunday mornings/afternoons riding ridiculously fast in the countryside. I also sometimes do a bit of long-distance touring, i.e. 600 freeway miles over two days.

I've decided I don't much like the 208's as they've lost alot of their grippiness with age and the Power's are just ugly. Seems I'm leaning toward the BT014's as it stands now.

What do you think?

i havn't voted yet because i've allways used bridgestones had bt010's on my cbr6 and on my zx7, then replaced the tyres on my zx7 with 014's (which took over the 010's) but after some advice from a fellow zx7 owner (Realninja) i'm trying 208rr's but i cant tell you how good they are because i've only done about 20 miles on them!

i havn't helped have i?

How often do you do these 600 miles runs? If you don't mind paying out more often I'd say go for 014s, but if you want them to last a little longer, how about Roadtec Z6? I've not used them but I've heard good things from them and will be fitting them to my SV. I'm very impressed with the standard tyres on the SV, Metzler ZE4, very good grip in the dry and equally as good when wet.
