do a search
this is a very opinionated topic. If you are very diligent get some popcorn as well there have been a lot of tire threads.

yep do a search. Depends on how you ride, how much you're willing to spend.
Cycle Gear is having a sale on Pirelli Diablo's this weekend though...good street tires. Wouldn't recommend them for track days though.

I use Diablo Corsa III's for track...I have 3500 miles on the rear with two track days. Why wouldn't you recommend them for the track?

I liked the Diablos I had when they first came out. Good feel, sticky as hell and the rear lasted about 7000 miles...on my bike which I eat lesser tires in about 4000 usually.

If you commute or spend much time on the highway I recommend the Pilot Road 2ct, all the side grip of the Pilot Powers but from what I can tell FAR more durability, mine aren't squaring yet at 8,000 miles...and I eat rears.
