How about you run a search on tires in the search bar. You'll get the info you want!
 
What do you want out of your tires?

Grip or long life? Or cheap?

What type of riding do you do?
Cruising
Touring
Canyons
Trackdays
Drag racing
etc...
 
Thanks, CBXRIDER, and CHARLESBUSA. To be honest I usualy ride with all my buddies that have Harleys (that means no going real fast). I am still looking for a tire made for speed, and stick to a curve. I am not concerned about the price, I don't mind spending money on the only thing that keeps my @#$ off the road. The bikes I had in the past was nothing in the class of this one, so I guess I am looking for the best tire possible. I paint bikes and airbrush for a living so looks of the tire are also a factor, as I plan on it being in some shows this fall if all goes right.
 
A sport touring tire should work great for you. While it won't have the grip of a sport tire, it is very close to it in grip level and lasts much longer.

Pilot Road2 Michelin
Diablo Strada Pirelli
BT021 Bridgestone
Roadtec Z6 Metzler
Roadsmart Dunlop
 
If I were a sport tourer, I'd try those BT021s!

Dual compound up front.

And

TRIPLE compund in the rear. Center, side and edge compounds

If you just want some GOOD tires (you don't seem to require the performance abilities of PPs, Qs, M3s, Corsa IIIs, etc.) and want a bargain Cycle Gear has a deal going on through May 17th: Front and rear Pirelli Diablos for $179.98 + tax. Not a true sport TOURING tire but a good tire that's a bargain at that price.

I put a set of maxxis super max on my bike the last time around and have been impressed. They have been a well balanced tire as far as longevity, price, and performance. I previously had Mich. Pilots, they had great grip but were done for in no time!

Sounds like you want your tires big and fat...at least the back one
