Tires for the rain

I have an 84 vf700, im looking for a new set of tires.... what is going to be the best for the rain (south ga so the rain is coming)
I also just ride 25miles each way to work commuting, so something designed for "touring" i guess so they last longer....

thanks

 

Don't know how long they last but the Pirelli Sport Demons and Dunlop D616's get good wet reviews.

Your screen name is funny brother.

are the METZELER LASERTEC any good? the says they are an all weather tire and all that and for about $150shipped for the rear seem kinda inexpensive....


and thanks

or the AVON ROADRIDER AM26 or BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX BT45

 

A buddy of mine who rode his GS500 all over Baltimore had the Lasertecs and he seemed to like them.

I have not been able to find the tires this rider is using, but its worth a look.

What a Douce may look like....

 

I had Lasertec's on my Triumph Thunderbird and they were excellent in the rain. The only thing I did not like is the rear tire wore out around 6K miles. I may have been able to squeeze another thousand miles but when tires get down to 2/32's I get pretty nervous....

 

pirelli stradas did great in the rain when i had them

 

I had both the Lasertec's and the Sport Deamons on my old ride, both excellent wet weather tires. Metzler rear even stuck good when I rode with the center bald as hell!!!(yes, I'm a dumbass):spankme:

 

damn only 6k miles, i still might try them unless someone can suggest a tire with long life and good rain resistance

 

Try Pilot 2ct work well for me in the rain, Better yet get the road 2ct will last up to 10K miles depend how you ride.

 

I have the Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and they work well in the rain and I like them overall for riding in general.

 

im thinking of going with the sport demons with a 140 rear
