Tyre recommendations

[expat2000]

Hi All

First post I think, getting my 85 GSX750ES ready for the new season (still have 4 feet of snow outside the garage so no rush). Been off bikes since 1992 so need some advice.

NEED to replace the junk knobblies that the previous owner had fitted with something a bit more practical for everyday riding. 

Not too worried about long lasting mileage as probably only do about 6000 miles this year and planning to swap to GSX750F wheels next winter for better tyre choice and availability. Bike is used for daily dual carraigeway/town commute and general dicking around at the weekend :-)

16"/17" combo needed, 100/90-16 front and 120/90-17 rear.

Just need straight opinions of the following and any other recommendations please, also wisdom/drawbacks of running unmatched combinations:

Front:

Bridgestone BT45

Dunlop Arrowmax GT601

Metzeler Lazertec

Rear:

Bridgestone BT45

Avon AM26 Roadrider

Have done some research already and the only concrete thing I have is that the BT45 is a marmite tyre, people love them or hate them.

Thanks in advance,

Stuart

Just north of Oslo, Norway
