Darkside tire selection

Any thoughts about this tire for the rear, Fuzion HRi 205/60 R16 92H asymmetric? Does one keep a stock size on the front? Any information is appreciated.

No experience with that tire.  I am currently running a Falken 512 and really like it.  I am going to order another one since I hear that they are being discontinued and replaced with the 912.

Got over 2000 miles now on my Bridgestone Potenza G019 205/60/16 and I love it. I waited and pondered for 30,000 miles and 4 M/C tires before I made the switch to the Darkside, and can honestly say I'm glad I did it. Yes, there was a 1200-1500 mile break-in period that wasn't quite a stable, or maybe it was just me getting used to the minor differences in handling, but it rides as solid now as it ever did on a Metzeler, and dragging pegs is as easy as ever.

Your mileage may vary, but I'm convinced.

+1 on the Potenza G019. 
I put mine on 2 years ago and now have 36k miles on it.  It still has enough tread on it to last till next spring!

Not bad for $95.

I have been quite happy with my Pirelli P4 in a 205-65-16. It has 50K miles now at the 1 1/2 year point and is good for perhaps another 10K. I will need to replace the front tire in a couple of months (another 5K miles) so will probably do a new rear also.  Likely will be another P4 but I am open to alternatives choices in a 65 profile. I did run a rear tire on front (Bridgestone 150-70-17) on a trip to Alaska several months ago.  Mounted it with the normal rotation and lasted 27K miles, just wanted mote thread on the roiad for Alaskas gravel roads. No concerns about it coming apart at the lap joint, have never seen a problem with this lap joint ever on any MC tire.
