I'm looking for some suggestions regarding tires for my R1100S. When I bought the bike it came with Bridgestone Battlax 54R's, which I got close to 5000 miles on. I was pretty happy with the mileage and how they handled, but decided to try to Metzler ME Z4's to see if I would get better mileage. Turns out mileage is going to be about the same, and I wasn't as happy with how the ME Z4's handled. I felt the rear tire get a little squirrelly from time to time in turns, which did not happen with the 54R's.
I understand that the 54R's are no longer being produced and was looking for suggestions. I'm looking for a good balance between mileage and handling for somewhat aggressive riding. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
