Hi,

This will be my first big bike and it probably needs retyring. It has some Maxxis tyres on atm but they are old and even though they've never seen the light of day I reckon probably a bit past it.

What would people recommend, I don't want to break the bank but don't want a set of hedgefinders. My riding style will probably be big A roads and B roads but not very often in the rain (still want grip if I'm caught out), may also have a pillion on the back.

Would Bridgestone Battlax BT46's be any good?
