    I need some recommendations for tires. This will be my first time buying tires since I came back to riding. The last time I bought tires was in 1986. So I thought before I buy it would be good to take advantage of all the knowledge on this site.

    Thank you,

    Jim

    I'm very satisfired with my BRIDGESTONE BT 45 battlax (offering long lasting center compound and softer side compound). Very safe to do corners with. But they only last 10000km on the rear 12000km front.
    Metzeler Lasertec is a good tyre - last longer.
    But recommending tyres is a difficult business. You will get many different recommendations I'm afraid.

    I know there are dozens of opinions but at least it is a place to start.

    Thanks for the information.
