go with the BT003RS they are fast road racing street tyres they will grip like shit to a blanket but milage wont win any awards, or they are doing a BT016pro which is the same as the 016 but apparently they have improved grip in the wet and improved the endurance of the tyre so it does more miles

Anything I need to know with the new tires??
Just be careful for the first little bit. get them scrubbed in.
In other words get the slick surface off before you start to ride hard.
Seem like i've heard of people spraying some kind of stuff on new tires
to get the slick surface off.

Find a parking lot and do some figure 8's slowly getting lower. You will have them broke in in ten minutes.
