I've pretty much worn out the 110/80 ZR 18 Bridgestone Battlax BT 023 and am looking for replacement suggestions. What's hot right now?

Thanks, BobZ.

T31 Bridgestone is their latest.

I've been running the prior generation T30 and T30 EVOs. Will replace with T31s.

Michelin Pilot Road 5's.
Great tire, awesome in the rain, and I get 8,000 miles out of them easily.

Agree. Great feel on the road, easy to mount/dismount, but they talk to you quite a bit. My most common tire is the B-stone back to the 023's, great in the rain, OK to mount and a fair price. On heavy bikes I get about 6000 out of them.
