Having been in the trade for years everybody as there own opinions on tyres, my best advice is take a punt on summat new or stick to what you know best

Maxxis sport touring-they will exceed your ability and the price difference will get you 2 or 3 tanks of gas to actually go somewhere.

PS did I see elsewhere that you had some front end issues today? My ZZR has never steered better than it does with these Maxxis on.

not great in the wet compared to more modern designs, had a few interesting moments on them with the old b6 and swaped em out for a set of dunlop roadsmarts. best set of tyres i ever put on the bike.
