    Which is the best Sport - Touring Tyre right now?

    Picked up a set of Conti Motion, 265 installed, Thanks Marthy, was raining pretty good before I left the shop and rained on me all the way home.

    Upgraded to the FZ6 about a month ago with teh stock 020 tires with 700 miles on the Odometer, riding home in a bit of rain, tried an aggresive stop, and just skidded along- kept the brakes locked up to see how far I was gonna go.
