Heya, folks --

Gonna be time for me to put some new feet on the Beastie this summer. Anybody have input on the best new tires on the market?

Once upon a time in my SV-riding days the Bridgestone Battleax tires considered top line, now I hear them slagged pretty often. What's new on the market?

Caveats: I ride in all weather and I ride pretty hard, so I'd rather have stickiness than longevity.

I like the IRC I just got for $100. Nice deep tread handling is good so far when I mounted it the side wall was nice and firm. Seems to be a well made tire. I bought the Wild Flame model. I also found a site with Dunlops for $93 and $10 shipping to lower 48 states. I am talking std. rear sizing.
