Which while not considered premium tyres, are rather better than many people will credit.

Well I have Pilot Road 2's on my SV - and was happy with those.

The Z750 has Avon Storm STs on at the moment - tho not for much longer - had a good look at them while the rear was off being replaced and there isnt that much life left in them. I have had no complaints about the

So Dunlop Roadsmarts on that next - just to see what they are like.

Any RBO's are fine.

Maxxis tyres are going down a storm on gixerjunkies, although I think it's their sportiest tyre they're all raving about. Maxxis are trying to break into the whole motorbike thing, they've been in mountain bikes for a fair old while and are respected there, so as a make I'd happily go for them, as for this specific model I've no idea...

Ive used maxxis tyres for years now on my enduro, they do everything I have asked of them.

I used to use them on my Mountain bike when I was downhilling too.

Didn't Maxxis used to be Cheng-Shin?

That said, I've heard fairly good things about Maxxis. But money isn't really an issue so I'll stick with Michelin, Dunlop and Bridgestone until reputations are settled.
