Goldwing size tires

Wich one would you choose between the Avon Am41-42, Bridgestone Gl 701-702 Dunlop bias Elite 3. I am afraid to buy the Micheli Pilot Gt , because they stop the production . Thanks for your reply.
 
Too bad on the Pilot GT's. They were the best of the group IMO. I rode a few Connies with the Dunlop Elite 3's. They turn slow. Kinda like the ole ME880's did. Pilot GT's steer better / quicker. More like stock Dunlops versus slowed down like many Wing tires. Owned both 880's and GT's on my Connie. Not near as nice turning as High Perf Radials. So given the choices listed I would look to the Avons or Bridgestones and try something new. 2003 Concours, 56K COG #6953 IBA 28004 http://home.comcast.net/~slybones/Concours/connieMain.htm

I'm currently running the Avon Venom bias ply in the 'Wing size and am very happy with them. Eddie Sanford, FL 2005 Concours 1969 Triumph Bonneville AMA# 686667 COG# 7073 CDA# 0136 http://picasaweb.google.com/Eddie753
 
I am running the Bridgestones in GL-1500 sizes. Have 5K miles and so far so good. Handling is a little slower than stock but to be expected
 
Yea I'm stuck for now with an E3, on the front, like mentioned ....... slow turning, not the quick nimble response of the 120 I had. Dave Muzzey St. Charles, IL COG#7957 '01 Connie
