I have recently had the Goodyear F1, And now getting ready to change out the second Toyo Proxies. Would like to have ran the Toyo again but has been discontinued. So. I now have two tires on site that I can run. Whats your opinion of these. (205-55-16)
Pirelli P6 Four seasons.
Bridgestone Potenza G009.

I run the Bridgestone G019 in the 205/60 R16 H size.
Picked it up from CostCo for $89 + tax.
Runs great.  Has about 13k on it now and looks to have about 70% left on it.

BTW, I run about 34psi in it.

I like the bridgestone. Got several friends running the G019 and will be the next car tire when I change mine out.

I've been running GO19 for about 10K now and it is one of the better CT that I have ran. Still looks like the day I put it on the bike. cooldude

The P6 Four Seasons radial features an asymmetric tread design , which is not considered a good thing.

I have been running the G019 for about a year and 4 months, I think it is a great tire for the Valks.  Might be a little careful of th G009, it could be an old tire.  The G019 is the replacement tire for the G009.   The G019 is a great tire, about the same price as the one it replaced.  Go for it.

Hey, BigM -

I run a 205-65-16 P4 Four Seasons on my Valk.  No the same as the P6, but close.  It's been on there for 20,000 miles.  Still looks good as new.   It is also bi-directional, or asymetrical.  Contrary to what I have seen on the posts, I found that the bi-directional tire was a smoother running tire than the uni-directional tire I previously had.  Great in corners, too.  The only downside I have with the tire is that it took a lot of weight to balance it.  But, that might be peculiar to this one tire.
