Metzler doesn't recommend a tire for us anymore....

I guess they used to be Z rated in the rear but now H rated. So, I guess that leaves the Battleax and the Shinko left. I ride this bike all year round, daily, 20 minute commutes and I don't push it hard often. I just want to feel more confident and stable in the turns and colder roads. My current Battleax are worn to the indicators on the rear. I bought the bike used and the tires were already worn. Should I get the Battleax or the Shinko. I keep hearing negative reviews about the Shinko. Cost is not a factor for me for safety and performance. Thank you

I currently have a shinko verge on the rear and the Bridgestone on the front. I have no complaints and have never felt uneasy in the corners. I have about 4K on this setup and they are wearing nicely.

I can’t recommend the shinko front tire since I was in the group with the people that had front end shake from it.
