More than likely down to the fact your tyres are low profile so make won't really make a difference to that. The make really will however affect your roadholding :)
Goodyear F1's and Toyo Proxies are both very popular round these parts :)

Haven't tried Pirellis but Goodyear F1s are very soft riding compared with Bridgestones. A good combination with classics I felt - On my '98 classic they were a better ride in 40 profile on 17" than the Bridgestones were in 50 on 16".
On my 03 they're a little too soft if anything! I run them 10% higher pressure to compensate a bit.
Might be worth a try when you need to replace your Pirellis. Or go 17" - but you'll still be on 40 profile on a 17 anyway (thought 18"s needed 35 profile in that size).
