Hi manduria,
usually a tire question will get as many different answers as it gets replies.
What I reckon is that any of today's tires will perform better than any tires that were made when XS2s were new
so the choice of tire manufacturer is not important.
What is important is to check the tire's manufacture date to be sure you are not buying old stock.

I just ran a track day with a Metzeler Klassik rear and a Lasertek front. The frame was dragging and the forks were twisting before the tires let go.
I don't think I've ever used a Metzeler that wasn't stellar, bias or radial, on any bike.
FWIW, I only went the Lasertek front because I'm running a 17 X 2.5 front rim and it was the only one in an appropriate size.
