Another thing that made me feel diffrent about my tires is having my bike set up to my riding style, makes ur tires feel way diffrent in the turns.
Yeah, that's an often over looked and very important piece of advice. You can spend all the money in the world on tyres, but if your suspension is set up wrong, no tyre will work well.

I killed my OEM tyres in 2000km, then had my sag set up properly and trippled the life of the tyres from the following sets. I then had the suspension fully customised using Racetech components and it became 10x better again.

If anyone is struggling to find a tyre that works, spend a few dollars and have your bike's suspension set up properly, just the basic set upmakes a noticeable difference. Once it's done, you'll be kicking yourself you didn't do it sooner, as not only will the tyres work to their fullest, the bike will be much easier to ride and that can only make you a better rider!!!
