Street Tires for hayabusa 2022

My.02 cents. I watch the riders at the snake at Mulholland in SOCAL. They get on those bikes and try to lean like some of the other guys that are near pro's and they slip and lose the bike. Now, if you stop the vid and look closely, those riders that lean way over are using racing slicks! Not this tire or that tire, racing slicks. I thought of doing that on Mulholland and hwy 178 going from the desert to lake isabella in SoCal which has some of the best twistie riding I've ever seen. But, I was going to trailer the bike with racing slicks there and back because if you ride the bike 4 hours round trip then do the twisties, you'll wear those tires out in no time. So if you really want to lean and feel 50* leans or more, do slicks.
LOVE this road:

Hello team, I currently have a 2022 hayabusa and I would like to change the factory S22 tires. I usually run my bike on the weekends. I live in Tennessee, USA, and for those of you who know TN, is an area where it has a lot of curves, hills, and highways. I would like another set of tires that is good for the street but also a liitle bit sticky on the pavement. Thanks in advance. Any recommendations?

I went with the 200/60 ZR 17 rear and front 120/70 ZR 17. They warm up pretty fast and are very sticky with more corner patch regarding leaning that's why I went with a 200/60 size 100% good to go ride safe.
 
If longevity is a factor, then there are two novelties worth looking at:

- Michelin Road 6. Just released. Supposedly 10% more thread life than the Road 5 that was already pretty impressive in my book:

- Continental RoadAttack 4 "Hyper touring" tire that is supposedly designed for high-powered bikes:

How many kms have you run the stock tyres mate? The Metzeler M9 are excellent tyres.
