What's the best tire setup for my '82 GS750E? I really like the Michelin Pilot Roads. They seem to be great overall, especially for wet. Suggestions?

Go with something you are comfortable with, front tire can be either 90/90/19 or 100/90/19, rear you can go one size wider though that is about it. And keep the tires matched.

My rear is a 110. I can't remember the front off the top of my head though.

110? I would have thought your rear would had been a 120 or 130, the 110 seems a bit narrow to me.
Not able to recall what my rear is, though kind of think it is a 120.
I like the crisper handling with 90/90-19 and 110 or 120/90-18 rears. There aren't any radials available in those sizes.
Avon Roadrider, Shinko 230, Pirelli Sport Demon if you like to ride fast in corners. They are newer tire designs and materials in our old skinny sizes. If you don't care about that there are a lot of old school options, some are good and some (Kenda) are bad.

I think I would go with either the Avon or Pirelli. I've heard good things about both. I see that the Pilot Road's are not available for my bikes wheel size.
There are plenty of threads but many prefer the avon for the much enhanced Mileage with minimum trade in performance, although beware of the cracking sidewall mystery.
