Is it not safe to say, that if a rider buys a tire from a major brand that is of recent manufacture that chances are, he'll be good to go for general street riding?
I fully understand the profile offerings, some are sporty and rounded, some are for straight line use and have a flatter contact patch (like Shinkos) but beyond that, is there REALLY a big enough diff to matter to the average joe blow blvd prowler?
Much like motor oils? Get a modern one and change it as recommended = your good to go...?
For track use, I know there are diffs, big time, but I'll bet that 80% of people would not be able to tell in a blind test (Coke / Pepsi Challenge type thing) what brand they had on their bike...
That blather said.... to answer your question, if its the right size, made in the last two years, and its a B'stone, your GOOD TO GO my man!
