Default New Tires For SGS

Looking for some new tires for my SGS. Anyone no of some good ones to get that are better than stock. I think choices might be limited due to the front being a low profile. Thanks !!

What do you think is wrong with the stock tires?

Personally, I have found them to be every bit as good as any aftermarket tires I've tried.

Different sizes, but I've ran the same kind of tires since 2010.

How many miles do you have on your stock tires?

What's wrong with the stock OEM tires

I think mine provide great feedback grip and rain characteristics will be replacing them with kind when they are due.

Second question what are you looking (characteristics) in your replacement tire

I have about 7500 miles on my stock Dunlop's, rear is about 6/32, seems alittle low to me, figure probably going to need replace 10-12k.

I put a set of Dunlop American Elites on my last touring bike and I called the dealer up and asked if I took the wrong bike home . That much difference. When these are gone that is what I'll be putting on mine.
