The supplier told me the wrong name. They are Triangle TR-645's. Bought them today for $360 OTD. 8 ply 1875lbs.
Much better then the 2ply passenger tires I had before.

Here is what they look like.

And road manners are much different then my YKS passenger tires. These ride like truck tires. Noise is not bad at all and the ride is much harder. The control around corners is much improved. I'd say I can corner at an increased ~15 mph under control with much less lean. Road wander is still unconfirmed (though better) due to a poor drag link perhaps. The previously stated mph might be a little off as well, due to the changing of tires. I think my speedo was off while driving with the YKS tires.
Overall I am happy with my little gamble. If you are in a pinch, these will do. I can't say for long term wear, so if you have the time I would stay with the tried and true, but the tread seams very good on these.
