If you are on a budget, try Maxxis SuperMaxx Touring. They are pretty good, especially for the money. The spec is quite high too. Kevlar belts and modern 2 step compound. My front is 2 y/o and I'm on to the second rear. I toured Europe in the summer and did 4 laps of the Nurburgring with them. There were 2 guys there having a pop at them. One on an R1, the other on a Gixxer. They were not so smug when I passed them on my 14 y/o budget hack with "tractor" tyres and a luggage rack :lol . I have topped the ton in the rain and can ride with confidence and up to my (limited) limit.

Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
