what are your best tires on a KZ?

I got an 81 440 ltd that I ride the crap out of from March to November as a commuter bike and around town bike. She saves me a ton in gas and wear and tear on the cars. I usually got the dunlop tires for a while...then I had a metzler on the back....last time around I got Bridgestone spitfires on front and reat....they are a nice tire.....I also got the most life out of those on the back....the front is still on after 11K miles....I just replaced the rear with another one and the front still looks great. I never got more than 6K miles out of dunlop or metzlers on the rear. The bridgestones also feel great on the road for handling.

spitfires are a good tire. I also have had good luck with the bridgestone batlax tires.
