I hve the Kumho on my 94gsr, very good tires and very good value! The bridgestone aren't bad either but my past experience with them is that they tend to wear out fast.

Eh, I think the Kuhmo has a weak sidewall.

I'd look into Falken azenis, Potenza S03s (if you have cash), or people have been saying good things about the yokohama avs 1000.

The Kuhmo's are great tires and are bang for your buck but aren't that great in wet weather.Falken Azenis are very nice tires but tend to wear down quickly but are great tires overall.I'd go with Azenis but depends what the budget is.
