Help choosing right tires

[allpas]

Hello to everyone one! New here! I need your help choosing the right tires for my fz6 98hp!

I bought it used with Bridgestone battlax s22 which right now have 10.000+ km on them! Tires were bought on early 2020.. ridden for 1500km...then the bike was closed to a garage for 2 years...i bought it and made the rest of them. Satisfied with them but with no experience with other tires!

I ride the bike every day on all conditions to go to work (40km total city environment) and on weekends i usually go off the city for fast walks . So am doing at least 160 km every month

What can you suggest me?
Also i am reading some have changed the rear tire dimensions to 190 over 180 ..or to 55 over 50... than the factory...

I’d would use the recommended sizes and profiles. For a daily rider that is ridden in all weather, you can not beat the Michelin Pilot Road 5 series.

That's a touring tire isn't it? They have now the road 6 claiming +10% better at wet and durability

It’s a sport touring tire. They have good grip, feedback and will last a long time. All tires are a compromise, you trade grip for wear. If the priority is on long life, that’s a good choice.

I've been using Michelin Pilot 2CT for the past 2, about to be 3 sets.
Where I have mostly been is a lot of straight an level riding. They do well in cold and rain. I haven't got caught in any snow in them since it doesn't snow anymore around here. I did have battleaxe's before. I would say they were comparable for the terrain, weather and speeds.

Plus 1 ^^..

I had PR3's before (not made anymore) that lasted a long time...

My local shop recommended the 5 series which I went with..
I'm very, very happy with them..

Highly recommended..
