Hey guys, I am in the market for a new front tire for my bike. I am looking for some advice on what brand tire you guys would recommend. I am considering either Bridgstone, Continental, or Dunlop. I have heard the Dunlops are great tires until they start to wear, then they wear funny - so I may want to stay away from them. Any advice you all could give me would be appreciated.

Another thing, I have a harder to find size (120/90/18) so my options are fairly limited.

I use the stock dunlops. I haven't really noticed any "funny wearing" other than cupping, which for me is like 80% heavily crowned roads. That being said, I haven't shopped around at all, so I may be riding on the worst tires ever.

Edit: Good sir, is there any chance you could make some sort of recording of your exhaust? I'm trying to find something to make mine sound a little bit less like a 4 wheeler, but without being loud. So far the only pipes I've heard sounded awful on the sabre.
