I know this has probably been done to death but which way do I go; Battlax BT 023's or Pilot Road 4's?

Bugger! I thought I had it pinned down to the two. You're right about the Michelin 'cos a bit of stone did for mine but it was squared off anyway.

+1 Angel GTs.  :yes: get the correct load rating.

O.C.

Today's standards as long as it's black, round, made of rubber and is the correct size and rating you'll be fine.
Or you can get PR4's and be extra fine  :clap:
XJ600, VFR800, CBR1100, Varadero1000, CBR1100, STX1300, GTR1400 ?

I thought that may have been forgotten about   :whistling: 

I changed the valve insert and it seems to be holding up ok   :yes:

If using Michelins make sure you have a breakdown recovery service. Good chance you will need it!

I went from BT 023s to PR4s. Unbelievable difference. PR4s for me next time as well.

Fit some!  :mfr_lol:
If you ride in the wet the PR4.
Angel GTR are also excellent.
PR4s seem to be a bit puncture prone, but are better in the wet than Angels.

PR4GT had three sets never a puncture or a problem, in fact simply the best I have ever had.
