    Front tire for SC riding.

    I've recently moved from South West Fl. to western South Carolina and the riding I'm doing up here involves roads with contours and curves. A big plus in my book, unlike the roads in FL.
    Here's the question, what front tire are you folks who ride twisties all the time having good luck with? This is on a 2013 F6B that doesn't get ridden like sport bike but also isn't just easing along?
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I do all local enjoyment riding, a few hours a day in the country and twisty roads. I love my stock Bridgestones G709 / 704 tires. I'm not too aggressive driving, I'd say average, certainly enjoy my moments, I'm a bigger guy, and I'll easily get 15k from them.

    Thanks for the input SpencerPJ. I think I got about 12K out of the Dunlop E4 on the front so far.
    Anyone else?

    Like SpencerPJ, I run the Bridgestone's, and i ride quite aggressively. There may be a tire or two that might give more milage, but I don't buy my cycle tires with milage being the #1 reason. The Bridgestone's give me great traction wet or dry roads. For me, traction far out ways milage.

    Bridgestone's front and back. Great traction and I get good mileage for a motorcycle tire.
    2013 F6B in black of course

    Like the others, Bridgestone front and back. Mostly flat land in central Indiana but did well through the smokies.

    Seems to be a consensus forming here. I'll check into them. Thanks for the input, it really helps.

    Evening Jeff. Yep I've got Bridgestone on both bikes and haven't left the brand. We haven't sold the house yet so hopefully the first of the year. Merry Christmas bud.

    Not only do Bridgestone tires work well on Wings, they're priced lower than anything else except Shinko.
