Default opinions on tires

i am about to put new tires on my street bob and i'm looking to get your opinions on what tire to get. i ride a lot, and plan on taking several trips, i'm not afraid to ride in varied conditions. i'm wanting to find the best all around tire for all weather conditions. if it makes any difference, i'm putting a 21" wheel on the front. let's hear what you've got...

I have a deuce with a 21" front wheel and a 17" back. I just installed Avons. A Cobra front and a Storm Ultra-2 in back. I only have 100 miles so far as I just did this. I have Avon tires on another bike and love 'em. Great grip in wet conditions too.

you can't go wrong with the metzeler me880s. I put a set on my bike about 2k miles ago and love them.

Checkout the Dunlop E3s also.

I prefer Avon Venoms. The back tire will get slightly fewer miles than the OEM Dunlop, but it grips better in corners.

Waiting for my ME 880's to arrive to replace my stock Dunlpos after advise taken from this forum. Will be glad to report when I get 'em on the bike.
