John Paul and I are talking again (Talking!!!)  Please if each of you could chime in and state: What R DS tire and size you ended up with and what you like about it.
Thanks

Running a 205/60 on the back of mine.
Vredestrian Sportrac
No longer available though.
Good thing about the tire is that the tread is deeply grooved for wet riding. Siped as well.
The running cross section of tread is slightly rounded. Acts and behaves as close to a cycle tire as I have found.
Edges are very rounded. Transitions from straight line into a lean almost without effort.

Michelin Primacy MXV4 205/60-R16.  Much more rounded than my first try a Bridgestone HP550.  It was a good tire, just more trouble to lean and I had it on for 4 years.

Austone Taxi tire, have 9600 miles on it and no wear to speak of. Handles like a motorcycle tire.

Dunlop 404 up front (reversed direction)
Goodyear TT 205/60/16 (I think the size is correct)

Great tires in rain (some snow).  Seem to wear well.  3K on front, 20K on rear.

Taxi tire next.
