I have a 1992 Yamaha XJ 600. I purchased this bike around the middle of June, it needed a back tire when I got it and I have already put 1,000 miles on it. I think I am going to get both tires the front is ok but I might as well do it if I am going to the trouble of doing one.
In case no one knows this bike is not exactly a SS bike, it is more of a cross between sport tourer and sportbike. I live in the middle of nowhere with only flat cornfields around so there is no real great twisty roads but I have found a few. So the good corners are few and far between but I still do ride some.
I want a tire that will handle good, perform good, also in rain if needed, and last. I think I will be riding this bike to college this fall which is a 40 mile ride both ways so I will need something that will do atleast this.
Right now the bike has Bridgestone Battlax BT45 (130/70-18 back, 110/90-17 front)
