Please post reviews. I need to buy tires and want to try something different. I want to stick with stock sizes. I currently have BT45's and have been very pleased. The price for a set of Avon's ( $120.98 ) is excellent. I like to ride in all weather conditions and I am not racer boy. I do enjoy aggressive twisty roads but at sane speeds. Tha MAXXIS would run $76.98 a set :o
I am also interested in the Michelin Pilot Active $185.98 Considerably more.
Any reviews or comments would be greatly appreciated.
i dont have alot of experience in this area but have done a lot of reading and question asking... I found most suggest.. either get bt45's, avon am51/52, or pirelli speed demons
it seems the speed demons are pretty highly favored with avons right behind...
right now you can get Avon (110/70-17 & 130/70-17) from AmericanMotoTire.com for $105.00 + shipping
Pirelli Speed Demons (same size) from AmericanMotoTire.com for $152.67 + shipping
Because of the price difference i just ordered the Avons
hope this helps

I picked up a pilot road yesterday (front ) I still need to find a good rear though.
Well, you never hear much on the Maxxis tires, so I'll chime in. I bought a set to replace my old beat up tires that were on the bike when I got it. Night and day.. the Maxxis Promax in the stock sizes improved the bike tenfold. Then I bought the dark colored wheels with BT45s already mounted. I think the Maxxis' were better... I've had more rear end sliding w/ the BT45s compared to the Maxxis tires. I haven't tried the Sport Demons, but I hear good things on those too. The search button is your friend. You'll find enough info to keep you busy all afternoon reading. Good luck.
