I am about to order new tires. Has anyone used tires other than the battled BT-021. If so how did they work?

Dunlop, Bridgestone tested. All about the same 15000 km front and 30000 km rear. Currently on Metzeler, but 200/50 rear. Testing.

i have a Avon storm ultra 2 on the front seems good but have only put 1000km on it, its a odd tyre size the front 130/70/17 so not to many brands to pick from
i wouldn't mind trying a 120/70/17 put not to sure how it will affect the handling?
spammer80 how did the 200 fit and handle on the bike?did you notice any difference?

120/70 seems acceptable too. But I have not tried this size yet. 200 fits well, but there is only a few mm left between wheel and plastic when rear shock is fully compressed. Seems no difference in handling for my ridind style. I don't like to scratch footpegs.
