What tires are on your bike now.It's dangerous to mix certain types of tires.Mainly radials and bias ply tires do not mingle well.
i haave stockers now
Stock tires for GS thru 02 was Excedras and since 04 it's BT45s, already an improvement in sticky. ;) Latest bias Demons, Lasertecs, and Activs should be stickier. Sport touring radials a bit sticker yet and supersport radials the stickiest of all except race tires. Sticky and tire life are usually a trade off but not as much as previously with newest compounds.
I have Shinko 005's 120-60-17 front 160-60-17 rear.If I ever finish my bike I'll write up a review on them.
I use Avon Azaro St Av45 110/80-17 Z rated front and Av46 140/80-17 Z rated Rear
I Just LOVE the sticky on dry and how well water flows away from tire.
I have Avon Roadriders, am26 I believe. I'm very happy with the tires and they were reasonably priced too.
I give $150 delivered for my Shinko 005's.I got them from www.ridenow.com
