Default Tires for a ninja 250

So right now i got my PoS stock dunlop tires on my 250 and i just went for a ride today and I got thinking i am should get some new tires. So i was wondering what kind of tires i should get for my 250. by the way i weigh about 130 i don't know if that comes into play. Btw what psi should i be running on my front and back tires? ok thanks guys

On my 500r, I got the Pirelli Sport Demons. Much better tire...although it did introduce some wobbleat 40-50 mph. Took it to several shops (to make sure it wasn't me installing the wheels wrong) and all said it was the tread.

Oddly, I don't remember seeng others post about this and the SD tires. I don't really notice it now, but it was a bit weird at first. In the corners, much better than the stock Bridgestone tires.

I also run the Sport Demons and really like them on the Ninja. I use the PSI that is listed under the seat with no problems.

When I need tires I'll probably get the Sport demons.

But -
Can anyone tell me the difference between the Sport Demons and the MT75 tires?

Some seem to like the MT75 better but don't know why.
