I've got Michelin Pilot Road 4s and they've been excellent commuting all winter and now that warmer weather has come, they're leaning over surprisingly well.
Definitely not a sport tyre but I can get to within 5mm of the edge of the tyre on the commute in so can't be that bad...

Would avoid all of the tyres with deathwing in the name. Look out adv rider forum for details why.
I got some pirelli scorpions last year and they've done OK. Do fine on cold damp tarmac (most days here), sure Michelin 4s are better, but they can't deal with gravel and fine dust roads etc.
Nearly worn out now (city courier working), replace front with a heidanau k60 (latest version), obviously much better of road, and decent on tarmac, but man they squirrel around. Transitions are slow and lethargic but predicable.

I've got Bridgestones on at the moment but due to the above mentioned nail will plug as an interim basis (and maybe do some silly braking and attempted wheel spins) before buying some new rubber and a planned trip to Germany in July.
For commuting/sport touring is there a forum preferred tyre?
Going on my Tiger 800, chance of going off road v slim but wouldn't mind a bit of tread just in case
Bridgestone Battlewing £100
Bridgestone Battlax £90
Bridgestone T30 £85
Continental ContiRoadattack 3 £130
Mettzeler Marathon £150 or Roadtec £135
Michelin Road 5 £125
And how are shops when it comes to putting on internet bought rubber, any issues?
