Today I got myself a pair of Bridgestone T32 sport touring tires on the glowing recommendation of a forum member. They'll get slapped on tomorrow to replace my balding Avon tires. The compound on the sides of the tire feel appropriately grippy to the touch and the profile is a bit less rounded over than the Avons and Michelin tires I've used before. They're still 120/70 and 160/60 though. I may have a little bit less contact to work with at extreme lean angles but maybe just enough to satisfy the admittedly meager maximum lean of the bike. I don't see a lot of thin runnels for water displacement though, which reminds me of some Dunlop tires I've ridden on....it may be a bad set to ride in the wet.
