Got a flat rear tyre on the way home from work Friday night. It's been temporarily bodged up by the RAC, but will need to get a new rear tyre. Bike is a Suzuki GSX-R600 (1999).

Any recommendations of a tyre which is also excellent in the wet?

Had a puncture recently, rac plugged it but next morning the tyre
was flat Thumbs Down Keep an eye out for a leak Exclamation

As for tyres, Bridgestones are pretty good in the wet from what
I've heard. I personally haven't tried them on my silly little CB250
yet but I am due for a new front tyre so I'm thinking of trying
Bridgestone for myself.

What is fitted now and what did you make of it before the puncture? What is the bike mainly used for, fast riding, commuting, motorways miles, trackdays etc?
