Michelin has a new sport touring tire out, called the "Pilot Road." Its 
supposed to provide longer wear than their Sport tire, and improves 
over the wet weather performance of the Macadams.

Other tires in the same category include Bridgestone's BT020, Dunlop's 
D220. and Avon's Azaro ST (AV45 and AV46).

I used Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse for quite a few years and was 
quite happy with them. <http://www.mawonline.com/> Now that I live so 
close to Road Rider, though, I don't need to mailorder tires anymore.
