Which tires do you guys like for the street on your SM 610's?

Considering new tires for my SM610. I'm wondering which tires I should get. I use my bike primarily for commuting to work. The commute is mostly freeway. Which tires do you recommend?

Also wondering if it's a good idea to go with a 160 instead of a 150 on the rear?

I have Conti SM tires, but for communting I'd just get regular street tires for longer life.

BTW, I hope your commute is short and you have a modified seat. Highway on a SM bike is not too much fun.

I too have the Conti’s
And I too think there might be something better mileage wise, for commuting

We'll , I got 700 miles out of the dunloup that can with it , next got about 2500 out of a set of conti motions , $ 154 for the set / with a 160. Not a bad tire , I think they are great for commuting , good on rain and a flatter profile . But I'm on Pilot Powers now , with a 160 in rear , just out them on won't have them scuffed I'm till September or October .

I've always like the Michelin Pilot series. I use the Pilot Power's

Thanks for the information everyone. Glad you all are here to help me along the way. Hopefully, I'm returning the favor in some way as well.

@RLittle: My work commute is roughly 70 miles round trip. Backroads are cool, but I prefer the freeway b/c they're quicker, less technical and safer by comparison. Also, I'm going to get SeatConcepts seat, but not b/c of my commute... stock SM seats are only good for standing ;o)

I failed to ask earlier, but what is the typical life of a set of tires? I bought my bike new with zero miles. I now have 1300 miles. Looks like I've used about half the tread or less. What's your experience/knowledge of tire and tread life? Hoping I can get at least another 1300 miles or more out of the stock tires.

I am going to try Dunlop Roadsmart next. I commute 7000 miles and year and would let to get more than 3000 miles.
