what tires are the best to use on the MP3 models?

cause, it just seems when a new tire comes out ... that becomes the tire everyone moves to use.

Generally, that's because each new tyre is an improvement on the last.
Michelin Gold Standard > City Grips > Power Pure etc...

Latest iteration seems to have people backing away from Power Pures with City Grips making a come-back.

They're really for two different uses. City Grips for the more 'average' commuter rider, and Power Pures for those who ride more progressively.
