GT750B Tire choices - any experience with these?

Post by RING_DING »

Hi all,
Read through all the posts on suggested replacement tires for the 750GT. I have narrowed some choices down to these:
> Bridgestone Spitfire S-11
> Dunlop K70
> Shinko SR201 (front) SR220 (rear)

Prices are all in the same ballpark. I am leaning towards the Shinko for the authentic look, particularly the front tire:

Any comments on the Shinkos? All advice welcome!
