couple of weeks ago I purchased a '95 K75S with about 65000 miles on it, went and did all the stuff that I thought needed to be done, all fresh fluids, filters, synched throttle bodies, new plugs, adjusted clutch and lubed cable ends, new Progressive shock. The only items left to be done are the fork oil and fresh brake fluid. The tires are Lasertecs and will need to be replaced soon. What are good tires for these bikes? Not doing any super sport riding, looking for something that can handle a good load, rider and luggage, good wet performance, stick and last a good while. I know I am asking a lot. I have read a bit where some folks run mismatched sets, what is a good set up?

I would look at the Michelin Pilot Activ also. I just bought a set of Shinko 712's of my '87 K75 good tire, I've put a couple hundred miles on them so far....best thing...they were $100 for front and rear shipped to my door

looked at Michilin's web site, does not look like they offer that tire in size needed, 100/90-18 and the 130/90-17. They do in the Pilot Activ model. Also, are there any issues with changing from original, recommended bias ply tire to radial ?

I mis-spoke. When I typed Pilot Power I meant Pilot Activ.
