Back in the day I found the Pirelli Dragon Corsa’s we’re the go to tyres for the Exup (the 90’s lol!) what are you guys using now? I need a pair- not too sticky or radical and not too costly?

I've just had a new Bridgestone rear tyre fitted last Saturday. The old tyre did over 7,000 mile. The rear tyre cost me £140 which includes fitting to a loose wheel and balancing etc. _________________ Bit of advice.
