Any tire is "good for stunting", as long as you have about 10 psi of air in them.

Personally, Ive been using the Pirelli Diablo for 3-4 years now, and I love 'em.
They are moderately priced, and in my opinion have the perfect tire compound...soft enough for great traction in the twisties, and not too soft as to provide decent tread life. Ive done about 4k miles on my current set of Diablos and I still have plenty-o-life left on them.

The Metzler M1's are good tires too, I do believe however they are slightly softer than the Diablo's, providing slightly less tread life (dependent on rider style). Metzler and Pirelli are actually partner companies, and use the same rubber compound for their M1 and Diablo tire...so either tire would be a great buy.

BTW, do not confuse the standard "Pirelli Diablo" with the "Pirelli Diablo Corsa".
The Diablo Corsa's are designed for the track and are softer/stickier than the regular Diablo. You have to warm the Corsa up before you can get maximum traction on them...making them kinda slick for everyday street riding.

And oh yeah...Dunlop 207's, and 208's are garbage.
