Bought a bike that has Michelin Hi sports fitted Shocked

Obviously i'm looking for some new rubber, and I know that there are a million tyre threads around, but i'm looking for some 120/70/17 & 180/55/17 that are duarble but that have a profile that allows them to tip into the corners fast.

I previously had a pair of Pirrelli Diablo Supercorsa tyres and really enjoyed the way the bike just fell into the corners.

These were replaced by Dunlop qualifier IIs which seem rather slow and pedestrian in comparison.

So which tyres should i be looking at for durability but rapid fall into the corners?

Could try the nylon based Chinese tyres that they fit to the really cheap imports...
although to be fair, you'd only fall fast into the first corner, and the tyres would last aaages because they'd be too dangerous to ride on.

I'll get my coat Embarassed

Avons, sharp profile and last ages, I found them poor grip wise though and changed them.
