Tires???

Just picked up a 2009 Royal Star Tourer Deluxe and was wondering what tires work well with this model. Hate the Dunlop's on it. Feels like I’m always riding in a rut!

I hear a lot of good for the Shinko 777.

Since this post has about a year of time on it, I have to ask….. did you find a better tire?

   I have a  ‘99 Royal Star with the Dunlops and there are times where I get like a floating sensation, or as you described riding in the ruts feel, mainly on the interstates or high speed bypasses. Been debating whether to try a different brand or not, or if it’s just me.

@Doublehorse Rider, I'm still liking the Shinko's.  I have not worn out my 777HD's yet to try the 999.  But when I do that is what I will get.

Unfortunately I can’t use those on mine. I had already replaced my Dunlop D404 when I found this post, but I checked with Yamaha and it the Shinko doesn’t fit my rim. 
   I’m going to try the Bridgestone G703 and 02 next though. Costs a little bit more, but I like the tread and reviews, so we’ll see.
