I think I currently have a Pirelli in the back and an Avon in the front. I wouldn't want to ride on a tube-in tire... tubeless is my preference. When it comes to tires, you get what you pay for. A cheap tire is just that---cheap.
If your paying $18.00 plus shipping on an ebay tire, you are probably going to get a stock Chinese factory tire, and I wouldn't recommend that.
My top choices for motorcycle tires are:
Pirelli
Avon
Michellin
Kenda
In that order. There are some other good tires out there, but those are the ones I have always had good luck with.
One of the more important things about a MC tire change is a good balancing. you might take your entire bike and the tire into a local MC shop and they will tell you they wont touch it... But... If you pull the wheel and take them just the wheel and new tire they will most likely mount the new rubber and balance it, as well.
The ride and handling of your bike will be 100% better with good rubber that has been balanced!
hope this helps!
