Another Gen1 rider here sticking me oar in. Just changed to a set of Maxxis SuperMaxx diamonds from a set of road pilots. Only been on for a day but can say already that they have changed the handling for the better, feels more like a sports bike and I'll post again when I get more milage on them.
The reason I went for them? Mainly cost, cant afford to pay out what a lot of places were asking for better known brands but what tipped the scales was reviews, mainly on wear. I'm always on the bike and heavy on the rear tyre. Would love to have a set of tyres that are super sticky but I cant afford to be replacing a tyre every 3-6 months. I do between 8-10k per year and all the reviews I read on the Maxxis tyres rated the wear between 7-9k, (Give you an idea of my tyre wear, I get 8k from a road attack conti and just got 8k from the road pilot I just replaced), so that works for me.
