Get the 110s very nice tires and look cool too. I'll post a pic in the photos section for a couple of days with them mounted on my bike. --Jim A-15

You might want to consider the GP-110 front (mounted backwards) Duro 904 rear combo. The price is certainly right. mrodub wrote: I know tire talk gets old, but I am buying rubber this week so that I'm ready when Old Man Winter takes a break from beating on us up here in Western NY. Nothing to slippery on pavement, and no D606's. I don't go off-road enough to need them. What tire do you all think is the BEST compromise? Any thoughts on the IRC GP110, I hear they're pretty good.

Mike, I'm a big fan of the GP110s. Great street tire, and works surprisingly well in the dirt. I've put a photo together with the common six tires and their patterns, which I think would help the group as this question comes up about every 3 weeks. I'll post it Monday and send out a link.

I just installed TKC80s and rode all over creation today, from paved mountain passes to snot-slippery unpaved mountain passes. I'm very impressed with the on-road performance of what is commonly thought of as a 50/50 tire. FWIW, they're replacing Distanzias. It took me ten minutes to get used to the different feel on-road (they don't like to transition as easily) -- they're plenty grippy. --John Kokola

The local Kawasaki dealer had never heard of TKC80s...

He has "bmw" in his mailing address, which should be a clue (heh!). For me, I just ride the TKC-80's when I'm going to be dirt+highway and need good manners on both. If I'm commuting or otherwise putting lots of miles on my bike, I swap to other tires. $183 once a year is quite doable. $183 every three months... well, at that point, I would definitely look for a less expensive way to get to work.
