So when I finally put all the hoses back where they should be am going to replace my front tyre. Tried an experiment with a cheap one from nankang n found it to be up to the task of my riding style. (To n from work n touring happy plodding at 80. Erm I mean 70 of course) wondering what tyres you guys swear by??? (Rear is a battlax bt023r).
Life is never complete. Once you've discovered rock music, beer, bikes & girls, you have the rest of your life to intimately explore each one.. Good luck with finishing that project.
I put the BT023 on the front, and i think it's spot on.
Has a deeper tread than normal from new which is why you can get so many miles out of them, and are brilliant in the wet.
I have a T30 on the rear.
If i was you i'd complete the set and stick with a front BT023.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
Pilot road 3's. Got them on the 600 and the 1000 and they are great. 
I was leaning towards the battlax. I was just wondering n trying to make conversation. .lol..

My last 3 sets of tyres have been pilot road 2's, which i am super confident in, sticky sides with a hard wearing centre, although these are now superceded by the 3's.
-suck-squeeze-bang-blow-
Pilot road 4 good and rated highly.
PR3s. Do they now make a PR4 for the front size?
Yup, they make a PR4 for the front. Blinding grip in the wet (currently fitted) but it's still the only front tyre I've ever managed to lock up in the feckin dry (on the Fazer) on more than one occasion :groan
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
Have previously used Dunlop & Bridgestone 23s. Now have Michelin PR3s -good all rounder with excellent grip in wet

PR2's were the last ones to have a 110!

You can get PR3's in 110, or the tyre place has not informed me of the change to standard. http://www.oponeo.co.uk/moto-tyre-detail...#109573837

I got bt023 rear and bt021 front. does me fine good wet or dry. I ride all year all weather.
BT023's for me, but considering a change to PR3s to see what they're like.
No complaints for the Bridgestones though
