After finding a piece of metal in my rear tire, I decided that I wasn't going to ride with mis-matched tires (some say its okay, some don't). So I did one at a time and went to CG to get them replaced. I ended up with Michelin Pilot Powers. I previously had some model of Shinkos (sp?) on there.
Wow, what a difference. I've only been riding about a year (2nd bike), but even in the beginner stages of my riding career, I can tell a huge difference. Turn in is much more crisp, the handling is a bazillion times better, and, they just seem to ride better (smoother) than the Shinkos did. The bonus is they weren't terribly expensive either. I believe it was $111 for the front and $143 plus $20/each mounting. Not sure CG was the cheapest place, but it seemed reasonable and I'm sure had to be cheaper than the dealer.
Anyway, if any of you are looking for new rubber, the Pilot Powers seem to be a good choice and fit for our bikes.
