true, to be more specific lets say the tires are only used for commuting and the weather conditions are usually 60-80 degrees; California weather.

for the use of commuting w/occasional sporty riding the bridgestones are the best bet. If you want to sacrifice mileage for more grip (which isn't necessary for commuting) you're really sitting between the pirelli dr2 and the michelin radials but as I said those are unnecessary for the purpose of commuting. If you commute/ride twisties 50-/50+ the extra grip might be useful though.

Thanks Sirref! Of course we do sporty riding and corners. lol the extra grip is welcomed and provides some piece of mind while having fun. i'll follow up on those suggestions.

Thanks Alex for the thread reference!
