I've lived out west for awhile and loved the demon sport tires. But now I'm back in northeastern Indiana and would like to know opinions of what kind of tires are good for this area my riding style is mostly commuting but I do like to find some good twisties too.  Thanks.

The Avon Roadriders would be hard to beat for your needs for a combination of long commuter life and good twisty handling, I'm getting great milage from them and they meet my current handling needs.  I've never tried the Demons myself but I'm getting much better tire life than Demon users have reported on the GS500 and EX500 bikes.

A look at the UK Bike magazine bias tire comparo run on a GS500 on a track shows the fastest lap for the Roadrider to be 2nd to and only a tad behind the much touted Demon of the 7 brands tested:

407,400 miles in 30 years for 13,580 miles/year average.  Started riding 7/21/84 and hung up helmet 8/31/14.
