After reading rave reviews about the Maxxis, I fitted them front & rear to the bike. They're quite good, although I do have one quibble, I find they don't givfe brilliant grip when doing tight conrnering.
I sometimes go round roundabouts aat almost knee-down lean (textile trousers, no sliders. Sniff), and find that occasionally, the rear will slide just a tad. It's not much, but enough for me to sit the bike back up pronto!
For touring though, even with sharpish corners, you should be fine with the Maxxis.
