Forgot to add , I've just tried a set of Dunlop Qualifiers.
Never been a fan of Dunnys before, (bit unpredictable) but these are very confidence inspiring....
What are the best tyres for my zxr? little help please!

Contisport tyre pressures: 36 and 42 front/rear.
Probably the highest manufacturer reccomendation i've seen on a tyre for the 400. i had better results out of em when i dropped the rear to 40.5/41.
my zxr750 has d208's on it atm and their wonderful in the dry. slightest bit of water though it's like riding on ice, dial in half a mm too much throttle and the back of the bike starts to think it's capirossi's GP bike. Put a lot of roundabouts into your journey and they square off quite quickly even faster on cold damp roads.
