I really love the Michelin dual compound series (Pilot Powers...IIRC). Had a Pirelli Diablo that I got 4500 miles out of but $$$! As far as going to a 200, I would stay at the 180. I really don't think there is much advantage in doing such a thing besides looks.
What tires do most go with? I also see several going with the 200 rear tire, rather than the stock 180. Any real benefit in doing this, other than looks? Is there a tire place online like tire rack, that specializes in bike tires?
Pilot Road 3s, 180 in the rear here. No real benefit going to 200. I like the PR3s, but I got them because it rains sporadically in Florida, and they're supposed to be really good in the rain. I love them so far, 500 miles or so on both new front and rear, and the tread looks wicked![cool]
