I am looking to replace my tires. I use the NT700va to commute up and down a freeway, and around town. I am looking for suggestions on current available tires.
Thank You

front - found best wear was Dunlop Roadsmart 3 or 4..... best mileage was 24,000 miles. they grip well in dry or wet conditions. I wear them down past wear bars, grip is still there in rain or heavy rain.
rear - Michelin Pilot Road 5 or 6..... I can get 15,000 miles under same conditions as above. I ride a ton of miles and I don't go cheap on tires for better grip

Currently waiting for delivery of Heidenau K60 Scout tires for the VStrom.
I preferred the Dunlop Trailmax Mission, but they just aren’t available. Both are 50/50 ADV type tires, not really suitable for the NT700.

Bridgestone T32's in GT compound. Been running them since they came out on the market.

The previous owner of my Wee put the Heidenaus on the bike because they looked cool. He never had the bike off the road. As soon as I can, I'm gonna put some Roadsmarts on the bike since I will never take the bike off the road. The Heidenaus I'm sure would be great for off road riding, but too much vibration and noise for me.
