I bought the bike with an almost gone front tire and pretty worn on top rear, bike has 9,109 miles on it.

I put a lot of miles on my bike, mostly commuting but I still hit the twisties hard on the weekends fairly often. Track days aren't out of the question either, but were talking maybe once a season unfortunately [good ol' college budget].

I'm looking for something that will last a decent while [at least 4k rear and 6-7k front] and have as good as possible performance in dry/wet/etc. Cost isn't an issue, value is what I'm concerned with.

Any suggestions? Stock tires are rarely the best choice, that's what's on the rear, 2nd tire, and front, stock tire [yikes].
