Anyone got any recommendations for a slightly knobbier tire in a 18x 1.85 front and 16x4.5 rear?

I have many bikes that used these size tires and any of these are great to very good: Pirellin Sport Demons, Shinko 230, Bridgestone Battleaxe 45 or S-11.
These I will never buy ever again!: Continental, Dunlop, Kenda, IRC (These brands are ONLY good for dirt bike tires as they tend to be hard as rock)

www.motorcyclesuperstore is the best place to buy tires. Incredibly FAST shipping and FREE if you buy over a certain price. (usually the price of one tire or tire with tube.

Is there anything more fun than riding? They are between your legs and are quiet when you turn them off.

OK, I've made a decision on tires. Dunlop D404's on the CB 750 K8. I'm going to try the Pirelli Sport Demons on my Suzuki Katana.

Thanks for all the suggestions and opinions.

You and your Kat will LOVE those Sport Demons.   ;)
I just took out one of my shafties yesterday that has the SD's on it and even in the cold, they were plenty sticky.  ;D
Only expect about 6-7,000 miles out of the rear though.  :(
