I've had good luck in locating Shinko tires for my bikes and they ware fairly good and hold the road real well, the good thing about Shinko is their about $100 bucks less than the name brand tires ...
but to me a tire isn't all that important ...I don't race and I barely ride anymore
so as long as they don't crack when sitting I'll be fine ! LOL
both my bikes came with new tires... how strange is THAT !?!?!? so I won't be buying any tires any time soon !
.....
unfortunately the Triumph 750 has a odd looking tread pattern on the back tire
and I don't like the way it looks.... I'd much rather have a Pirelli MT53 on there as they were my favorite tire back in the day...
I'm 68 and although I love cornering those twisty roads I didn't get to do much of it this year.... I spent most of my riding time getting the bike to run right.
so next year I might be able to make those chicken strips a bit skinnier ! LOL
so my biggest dilemma will be which bike to ride ! LOL.....
I've never had that problem before ! HA !
And the KLR I am trying to get has new tires on it as well... a knobby street tire of some sort....more dirt oriented, which is perfect ! ...so I'm set for tires for a long time me thinks !
