    Anyone have any tire recommendations for a yx600 Radian?

    There are a lot of options, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    I recently just bought tires for my Turbo and I have identical rim sizes to your YX.
    The 16” front presents limited options today.
    The best rubber available in a matching set is Bridgestone Battlax BT45 or Pirelli Sport Demons. You can spend more mixing and matching Metzellers or less with whoever sells that front 110/90-16. The BT45 is a sound buy.

    Those Pirelli Sport Demons look pretty cool.

    I have the Pirellis on my FZ.
    They’re made in Brazil now, not sure if the quality suffered moving fabrication from Italy

    I just learned Bridgestone has a new tire out BT46, looks very similar to the BT45 but offered as a premium option.
    Radian sizes 110/90-16 front and 130/90-16 listed.
    Even lists the oddballs my FZ600 takes 100/90-16 and 120/80-18. Nice to see Bridgestone supporting our older rides with new technology.

    I'm now reading the BT46 replaces the 45 in their line up.
