Default Rear tire suggestions

I recently bought a 2013 Heritage Softtail and the rear tire is very close to needing replaced. I'm a novice rider so I'm looking for suggestions that will give me decent performance, especially if I get caught in the rain. Looking for an all around tire - would like to find something with decent traction that still gets ok mileage/wear. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help

Talking

Most main stream tyre brands make suitable tyres for your bike and they all have their supporters in HDF. You either have to make a list, close your eyes and stick in a pin - or develop your own prejudices!
