Default Tires

I've got an 08 Street Bob and I'm hitting around 12,000 miles and I'm looking to change out my tires. What are the best, medium, and worst tires to buy? I'm running the standard size, no mods. Thanks for the help.

after the stock Dunlops wore out on my 07 Road King I put on a set Of Avons. The front tire had the annoying and scary effect of grabbing any crack, tar strip, or even small pebbles. Switched to Metzeller ME 880,s and what a diffference. The bike handles like a dream now. Would highly recommend them.

I just put a set of the Pirelli Night Dragons on my bike and what a difference from stock. I have never tried Metzeler but I hear they are nice too.
