[Shotimes] Speaking of tires..

[Marc Levy]

What is the current suggested tire for all-weather
street use?  I am in NJ, so I have rain and snow to
deal with.

I was using The Dunlop D60's on the 90, and was not
crazy about them in the rain..  They also did not last
very long on the front.  :(

On the 95, what tires should I go with?

Thx
