Had been my tyre of choice for quite a while. They stick great, have a good profile that's somewhere between pointy and neutral. Didn't do that much "fun" riding in the wet with them, but didn't have any problems.
Though the tyre of choice for me at the moment are the Continental Road Attacks, which I feel are a bit of a better tyre. I either got my sets from Tyres for Bikes at Albion, or Brisbane Motorcycle Tyres on Moss Street when TFB didn't have any in stock. Can't help with the prices though.

I can vouch for the M3's
 I love them and they were great on the R1 at the QR track day too I'm up to 17000K's on my front and I get around 10000K's on the rears  I don't do too much wet weather riding, but the few times I did on them, they felt stable with no particular surprises. As for prices, shop around dude ..they are always changing  Ask Paz actually, cause I think he got his from a shop at Nerang for low $400's which was excellent pricing "D |

I love the M3's and would highly recommend them to anyone. Bang for buck you can't go wrong for the grip and feedback you receive from these tyres is incredible. I was getting them for $430 a set fitted here on the coast at the tyre shop at Nerang.
Personally I didn't like the contis, I never really pushed them hard but the feedback was minimal in comparison to the M3's. |

Hopefully by end of next week they be here. I'll call ya when they are in, then we'll sort out a day for fitting.

When my rear tyre (pilot power) needed replacing I chucked one on, and I am so happy with it, that when the pilot power for the front wears down I wouldn't even hesitate to get an M3 for that too. Have only been on less than a handful of twisty rides since the change, but even a relatively inexperienced rider like me can tell the diff. Thanks pazio.. you are my hero

I told you that you would love the M3's I thought Pilot Powers were good, but the M3's took my confidence around corners to a whole new level Enjoy mate  |
