as a guy who's been known to ride on old hard tires due to finances, I have found that exact thing, they're not too bad in the dry (at my skill level) but treacherous as a bad woman in the wet

I thought the OEM rear was treacherous from day one. I rode it, knowing that its lack of traction and unpredictable feel was actually good training. The tires after it got Tested.. the pegs Will fold enough to pinch a foot against the engine hard enough to hurt.

A month ago I put some fresh Shinko 230's on the bike, and I went with the 130/90-15 and it looks great and works fine on the bike. It is actually a bit wider than the stock 140 IRC, and it is 1% taller. [/quote]
I'm on Shinko 230's too. Super nice all weather tires. I absolutely love them, an unbelievable value.
