The tire that surprised me the most for cheep and sticky both was the Kenda tires believe it or not.

 

All the guys in the Dyna club/thug thread ran Pirelli Night Dragons they came with some good reviews

 

Have had use few sets of Pirelli ND on wife's touring bikes for extra grip and confidence in slow motion as at the gas stations.Since she doesn't go thru tires as much as like I do longevity isn't important the performance. is main priority..

 

Shinko 777's are the stickiest tire that I have used to date and what stays on my bike. I am not easy on them.... but not super rough either.... I do dig into those curves though. I haven't had a single slip issue with them at all.... except that one time I downshifted from 3rd to 2nd while I was still going about 35mph in a pour down going into a turn lane.... ended up sideways, but that was my fault. You can't beat the price and I can get about 8-10k out of a set.
