Need a new new rear tyre soon. Can anyone recommend any good make/models?
Been looking at Pirelli Diablos and Bridgestone Battlax
Currently have Michelin Pilots on my Kawasaki ZX636 (b1h)

i have Diablo Strada's which are more of a touring tyre with the harder compound in the middle.
can't fault them really, i have a pillion quiet often and they are standing up to the job not squaring off...

I've got Dunlops Qualis on mine. Not too bad, but I really think with tyres its really down to the riders taste and feel of the bike.
I'd say try some different tyres, and build up experience. Im not sure if one of the Kwak forum guys have a specific tyre they recommend (tried and tested) for certain bikes? Might be worth reading.

ive got them dunlop d207e i think, reccomended by kwak so when i needed a new front i just stuck to the same,
heard the maxxis sport getting good reviews recently, a mate recommended supercorsa 3's to me, the tyre with different tread material at diff angles if you know what i mean, stickier on more lean..

I keep getting told diablo corsa III's are good. its the 4th time i've heard that today from people who have had b1h's. i'm more worries on compound being too soft and wearing out quickly.
Michelin pilots have gone sqaure on mine but they came with the bike so can't complain.
Read reviews on Battlax and gets a good write up so its between diablo and battlax. swaying towards diablo's
