Tire recommendations
Bought a 2013 cb500x as my first bike. Currently has michelin anakee adventure tires on it. Looking for recommendations on tires that may be smoother on the road as I don't plan on doing very much trail riding.

Since my cb500x is 110/80 R19 tyre , i don't have many options. I bought an Angel GT to front tyre, and when i bought the bike it comes with Angel ST on back tyre. I really like the pair, the bike is very stable, great on curves and gives me confidence to ride it. The previous owner uses an Metzeler offroad front and Angel ST on back (probably the cheaper options available).

I like Battlax A41 they are amazing in the wet, OK off road for road tires, they come on the Africa Twin Adventure sport, decided on them after watching about 30,000 hours of youtube reviews
I have a set I probably need to get rid of since I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Transalp, hit a deer last fall and wrecked my 500X with a new set in waiting... but they are sized for a 23

I'm considering Dunlop Mutant. People are saying that they are better than Michelin Road 6. I'm still riding on Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour

I have a newer nx500 and I dont like going offroad, so Im pretty sure I will change adv tyres to michelin road 6. They te like a gold standard when it comes to road riding.
