Default What kind of tires should be on a street tracker?

I run a 19 front 18 rear setup on my street tracker. I have been running Dunlop K 180's, but am considering a change. What are you guys running?

But all seriousness. what do you want the tire to do for you ? Do you do a lot of touring, Heavy riding, Aggressive riding, Wet riding ?

Can someone tell me what check out the 205's means please?

Hi okmatt33. Could you answer some questions for me please. I want to fit k180's to my bike but the do not sell them in england so i would have to import them (expensive).
Are they any good as road tyres, how long do they last and are they any good in the rain? i often ride in the wet and would hate to pay alot of money to import tyres that are not good for what i want, i dont do a lot of mileage but would need them to last a reasonable time.

anybody have any other sugesstions, Maxxis are easier to get hold of but only do them in race compound (quite soft i think) and only do a 19" rear! would this fit a sportster if i re-rim it? anyone have experience of these?
