    Looks like I'm going with Bridgestones. I'll bet them put on Saturday, will put new brakes on also.

    Rodney,

    I have been running the Michelin Alpin Primacy PA3ZP 195/55-R16 for the past 4 tires. It is a runflat car tire. I have so much more riding confidence with this tire than any "motorcycle" tire I ever run on the back. Here is a link to the 1800 riders site focused on running a car tire. I get about 20,ooo miles out of each one. Darkside Riders

    I run a Bridgestone G709 on the front.

    Take it for what it's worth, use it if you want. It's what works for me....:-)

    Scott.....

    I'm not too fond of the E3's... while virtually all tires will eventually "cup" on the GW, they seem to cup pretty early (on my two bikes... within the first 1500 miles).

    Next set will be Bridgestones... or Avons.

    I agree that the Avon tires provide very good traction because they are soft rubber but they tend to wear faster than some others I have tried. You may want to check out the Yokohama M/C tire line. Their rubber is a little harder and they are very long lasting/high mileage or at least they were for me. I have used them on my Harley and Goldwing.
