I need to replace my R1100RS tires (original 18" rear wheel). Very few choices are out there and I'm curious who has something they like.
Choices seem to be:
I'm not interested in track day stickiness, but I don't idle around corners, either. Does anyone have recent experience with this decision? I would value opinions.
Choices seem to be:
- Pirelli Angel (both front and rear available)
- Older Michelin Pilot Road or older Continental dual compound. I'm concerned that these may be old on the shelf.
- Bridgestone Battlax (I currently have T30 EVOs and have some bad front tire rippling. Combined with how stiff the sidewalls are and resulting difficulty of installation, I'm not interested in buying these. I also have really weird looking wear on the front even after upping the inflation from new until now.
- Mixing new design front tire with another brand rear tire available in 18" size.
