Hi there,

Here are my tire recommendations from a previous thread:

http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=24322.0

Here are my recommendations from that thread:

I tried Dunlop Elites on my GS500E several years ago and was VERY unhappy because they didn't have 70 Series tires and I had to use 80 or 90 Series aspect ratios. Terrible handling, and the bike FELL into corners. Unnerving.

The Solution:

Then last spring I mounted a set of proper 70 Series Michelin Macadam 50/50E tires and they are GREAT! I'm still very satisfied with their performance, wet and dry traction and reasonable prices if you buy them from one of the better and cheaper online companies.  Check Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse and others, then call Dennis Kirk to give you the tires for a dollar less than the best price you can get, including shipping.

Here's the Michelin Web page for the tires:

My bike handles great again, traction is excellent wet or dry, braking is phenomenal and my bike is much improved.  I used stock sizes and am VERY pleased.

Good luck,

P.S. All you had to do was try a search to find this info on the site. It's been written about a million times here. Next time, give it a little effort!

It needs a bit of work though. But you didn't specify if you were going to do a wheel swap or keep the stock sizes.

Stock - Sport Demons
Swap - Pilot Powers

thera are probably about 1200 different threads related to this

tars are round black(usually) and hold air
all depends on your budget

good sticky tars cost $ more than cheap ass tars
