Quick question: Just looking for generally accepted good, tires. After reading several tire threads, it seems that Bridgestone Exedra's get mentioned a lot. Just want to make sure I've got the right ones: Are these right for my ST1100? (Front) (Back).
Yes, I realize that there are a million opinions on which tires are best, for a million different reasons. Honestly, I am not too worried about getting the "perfect" ones. I'm still fairly new at all this (been riding 4 years or so?), and getting better at riding every year, but I am under no false pretense that I need anything fancy or special. Just looking for a quick "yea most people seem to think those are pretty good", or "in general most people stay away from those", or even a "you idiot those tires are for a different bike "... lol.
Background: My riding style is pretty casual. I'll probably put 5-6k on the bike this year ... While I would like to say I ride hard and am a total badass, I honestly am by many peoples standards a newbie. I try not to do anything out of my comfort zone, when my life is on the line, ya know? I plan to do a couple 3-4 day trips a year, and other than that its an hour o 2 ride with the wive and back and fourth to work ... I just want something that will generally work well in normal highway riding, and do okay in the occasional rainstorm and maybe some gentle riding in the twisties.
Thanks in advance!
