What replaces the original 180/80R18 Dunlop Sportmax D205 tires

Can't tell about mileage yet, but doubt they will last as long as the Michelins.

I would buy the Pirelli GT's again.

@ferret
Allow me to ask, what makes a tire for you inspire confidence in wet or dry ? I can feel that a new tire is better than the one just wasted ... for a short while. But in dry conditions I wouldn't want to push the CB into speeds or lean angle where grip becomes marginal, and in wet even less. So, unless you are racing your CB, under what reproducible circumstances can a guy like me judge one tire versus another, or get confident.
Forgive me if this sounds smart aleck, it's not meant this way. I just like to understand these words so often used by riders.
