Cobras front and rear for me. They help me do wonderful things on the street and my track day at Oregon Raceway Park last year was outstanding. I ran those tires from edge to edge and had those hot little sticky balls all over the tires.

Avon makes a good tire, but IMO, are overpriced.

Here are a few recommendations:

Michelin Commander II 80/90B21 Front Tire | 534-979 This Michelin might handle that softtail better in a 90 series aspect ratio.

Real sticky: Pirelli Night Dragon Front Tire - Motorcycle Superstore

Hey guys any recommendations on the stickiest front tire you guys know of it's for my wife's bike. Tire life is unimportant just want great traction while hitting the front brake. the front tire of my wife's bike still have good tread on it but it is 4 years old 23000 miles. I think the rubber is getting a little hard. she's had two instances lately where the front wheel locked up on her during medium hard braking and almost dropped the bike on clean dry asphalt.
She has a Dunlop on it right now and kind of don't want to go back to that if there's a stickier tire available

Thanks, Ridefree

+1 on Avon/Exedra Max combo - Dropping down from 150/80R17 to 140/75R17 front will also make the front end/maneuvering lighter/quicker/easier to handle - Most that have gone that way seem to like it, I've not seen anyone post negative on it EXCEPT NOT to be done with ABS brakes - Seems like that would really benefit "the fairer sex"........... Can we still say that?
