[QUOTE="TahoeBound, post: 1308645, member: 1082"] I've had 3 FJRs. 2 with ~50K miles. So I've run most of the popular "sport-touring" tires over the years including Avons, Metzeler, Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Dunlop. Based on those experiences as well as that MCN review, I'm going with the RoadTecs 01s this time around. I like how the overall ratings were explained; I'm looking for more of the "sport" feel & performance in the "sport-tour" spectrum. Should still get decent mileage too. Doesn't rain much in SoCal so rain performance is not a concern... Side note: was surprised that the PS4s were in last place in the MCN review while so popular here. Well, felt like last place but actually explained as leaning toward the "touring" side. I had PS2's and changed them before due...at times they were slippery/greasy. Very disconcerting. I was tempted to try PSs again, but I've read a couple comments that some riders felt the same thing with slippery/greasy feel with PS4s (including a Sport Rider review). No thanks. [/QUOTE]
