Tire Suggestions for 98 GS500E

I'm not saying that they can't be ridden in the rain, just that you'll get better grip out of a more street oriented tire.

if your on a budget like I've been the past week getting the bike ready for the road.
Then its usually a good thing to know where the closest motorcycle salvage yard is. (if theres even one close by)

I stopped by a local one for parts and not even thinking about tires.

Waiting on the parts, I went out for a smoke and browsed what they had.

Came across a KENDA K671 CRUISER rear tire.
Only a mere $15 and there was no visual wear to raise any red flags and Tons of tread left on it.
going back in a week for 2 things, hope I can locate the front one.. haha



even the mechanic at the garage this morning doing my inspection was surprised at how lucky I was to find it and only for $15!

Brand new and shipped to a local dealer, that tires about $90.

But any tire from a salvage yard, I wouldnt take anything that wasnt close to brand new or anything with ANY indication it wouldnt be as safe as a brand new one.

Hope this helps.

I, along with a lot of others on the forum can vouch for the Pirelli Sports Demons as a great tyre for the GS.
