Shinko 712's for grip. But I bet the Dunlops will last longer.

If you want to go radial you can check out the Continental Classic Attack. Pricey, but it should be a great tire.

I have used the shinko 712s on my cb. I have had good luck in dry and wet weather with them. Smooth rolling tire.

I have also used bridgestone spitfires. I can't complain about those either.

Oh, btw, shinko is a japanese company and the tires are made in korea, not china as many mistakenly believe.

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
