I know I will probably get slated for this, but have been riding know for 30 years plus on a large range of differant models and styles of bikes and there is an awful lot of crap talked about when it comes to tyres. Ive had the varying ranges of Bridgestones, Pirelis, Dunlops, etc, etc. Unless you ride every day as if its a track day most of the better known makes are a lot better than the rider. If you fit touring tyres they will do eveything you want and last that bit longer than sticky rubber and to be honest I have never noticed any differance between the two cornering, wet dry or otherwise.
The only exception to the rule is the lessor known cheaper makes which can be utter rubbish.
Originally had the BT,s fitted but know have the Mitchelin Pilot road 2 simply because they were on special offer, only differance ive noticed is they do seem to be lasting longer.
So basically any of the better known popular makes will serve you well.
Before anybody says it I am not an old fart who potters about, no chicken strips on this fellas tyres.
