Default Tires and Pressure

What do you guys run for tires, and where do you keep your pressures?

for sporty type bikes, i generally lean towards bridgestones. just personal preference. i know alot of people don't like them, but i like the predictable slides they give when pushed real hard

as far as pressures, 34-36 is the general rule for the street, less if you're at the track.

Right now the bike has the factory Pilot Roads on it. I keep them at Suzuki's reccomendations. I will probably replace them with Pilot Road II's. I have heard good things about them. The back is starting to square up a bit on me.

But are they good tires? I'm actually in the market for new rubbers soon.

I'm actually partial to Michelins, I've like my last few sets of Pilots. My last Bridgestone BT's cupped and wore funny. Just curious what some other preferences were! No Dunlop guys here, huh?
