dunlop A10's or GPR70 are good sticky tyres if you can get them, most others will be a more high mileage tyre,but you'd know this if you had of done a search
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

Of the Bridgestones, BT90's are the best to get. I've tried BT92's and while they're good for longevity, they're not very good cornering-wise. I had major confidence issues with them! The 90's are a softer compound and give much better feedback, feel a lot more "planted" on the road and I have a lot more confidence with them.
I've heard good reports about the A10's, but am inclined to stick with what I know.

As well as the BT90/92 you can also get the BT-014 in a 150/60/18 profile. (going to be around £130.00 I should imagine)

Bridgestone BT-014 Info

This is probably the most 'racing' oriented street tyre Bridgestone make, i'm not too clued up on other manufacturers. However, my old man had some on his CBR900RR3 and they were great.

Neo: not sure about 014's for bigger bikes (e.g 170mm+) but the BT090 is a far softer tyre than the 014 in smaller sizes.

I've raced on 090's I wouldn't dare with an 014, although they are a better compromise than the 092 on road I think.
