I've been using the TK16 Conti/Tour and TK17 Conti/Tour on Rocinante for
months now and IMO they are perfect for our weight and my riding style (
"Safely Aggressive"), these are 100% street tires bought from Dennis Kirk.
You can compensate for the bike being undersprung by shifting more of your
weight foreward on the bike, your going to want more weight on the front
anyway if your going to ride hard in the twisties, with the good street
tires you can brake much later and harder, with more weight on the front
suspension before you even start to brake, there will be less front end dive
and the bike will settle into your choseen line much
quicker and easier. Later.
