Diablo Strada for big miles and good grip (but not for tack days) but not cheap £200 for a pair fitted to the bike I paid, but will do 5-6K miles no probs.
But there's loads more sticky stuff about.

I run Pirelli Diablo Strada. It's lighter and very good for road use.

Running Diablo's at the moment (not corsas or anything). BT92s were good (fair amount of grip and plenty of warning) but the diablos were cheaper owed to my transition onto 17" wheels f &r and seem good so far.

Have you been weighing tyers again ? :sshh:

They could be lighter I have noticed they are the most comfortable Ive ever used which would make scene with unsprung weight.

I did use sport tec M1's for a few years they were good but only lasted 1800 miles the strada being a modern sports touring feels just as good as an 8 year old sports design if not better on the road, I'm sure my corner speed has gone up.

What mileage will a BT92 do I was going to get some for the supermoto but found a set of new BT45's for £101 so I couldn't really say no ?

You should get over 6000 out of a rear as its a sports touring tyre MASDE FOR 250's and 400's. The 090 on the front helps grip
