I know that this has been discussed here before, but what tires and where to buy do you recommend?
here we goooooooo....
time for me the evangelize for my favorite tires again: Avon Spirit STII. make sure you get the 160/60 rear. in terms of performance and longevity these tires give the best cornering confidence you can get with the exceptional longevity they offer.

The best IMHO are Michelin
#1 Michelin: PR4 GT, Michelin Road 6, (PR3 - don't think these are being made)
#2 Pirelli Angel GT - presently have three mounted on my DLX/f-110 and STD/f-110, r-160
#3 Metzeler Roadtec Z8 on my DLX/r-140
Where to buy in Iceland, you have to check online and your local supplier(?)
as far as i Know the PR4 and Road 6 will not offer a size that fits our bike on front and rear. If they did I would ditch my Avons in a heartbeat, but alas.

Mark,
The PR4 you are talking about is a totally different tire and N/A in 18"..
...unlike the PR4 GT and Road 6 are available in 18", BUT you missed the first paragraph where it says:
