So, I think I’ve narrowed it down to either Shinko 777s, Dunlop CruiseMax, or Metzeler 888s since the Avon’s don’t make a front tire for my bike.
Im the type that usually just springs for the most expensive when I don’t know much about a product, BUT, I’m really leaning toward the Shinko...not for price reasons, or for mileage obviously, I was originally thinking Metzeler because of the high price but I think I value stickiness over mileage due to an aggressive ride style that includes getting fairly low in the corners. (Could care less about wet performance, I don’t ride in the rain lol)
Any thoughts from the group regarding stick and quality of the three I listed, or possible options I’ve missed?
Thanks!

Any input on their stickiness/handling?

There are many things to consider, and weather not cooperating with me is one of those things.

I bought my Dunlop’s from Revzilla. Then used a Indy for install. Total cost of tires, tubes, balancing was just a hair under $500.00

I just put on set of Shinko. They ride quite nice, and the price was great from www.fortnine.ca. The rear is a touch wider than stock 130, and therefore runs a little close to the belt.
