What kind do you use ?
Do you like them? And why
who's got the best deal online.
I have pilot sports looking at the pilot power so what do you think.
I use Avon 140's on the back and Avon 110's on the front. Both radials.
I got them on reccomendation of the bike's former owner... but a bit of google-research says that they are good, sticky tires that grip well on wet surfaces.
The front was on the bike when I bought it. I got my rear from AZ motorsports. $110 shipped. Don't order from there unless you're willing to wait a month for it to arrive. Your best bet is to find a local place with good prices that will mount it for a nominal fee. Everyone else likes to charge their normal labor rate if you come to them with with a bike and a tire.

You know RVertigo if I wanted to seach I would have.What is the problems asking a question. Oon this site everytime some smart ass tell you to search. If you dont want to post about a topic dont, but if you are on here to post then do, we all know how to do the search but whats wrong with asking a question. :x
Hell, he was a lot more polite than he needed to. He actually gave you pointers on how to narrow the results down.
Now go read your manual, and sin no more. :P

You know, if I wanted to be a duck I would have.
Tires are one of the most common topics around here and people tend to ignore them because there are so many. I was trying to help you figure out what you were asking... gsJack's posts are THE most informative tire posts I've ever seen. He's been riding GSs longer than anyone else around here and has used more tires, therefore knows the most. If you'd rather have a thread with one or two posts about tires that you weren't asking about, then that's fine.
I have Sport Demons. They're Grrrrreat! So go buy those. :roll:

Tires is one of those touchy ones... A lot of people just skip over them...
The only thing worse than being hassled about not searching is getting no response at all. About 3/4 of the time a quick keyword search will answer all of your questions.
When I was buying tires I searched and searched and searched for each type of tire. Everyone has a different opinion and most of them are already posted a few times...
I ended up getting the Sport Demons 'cause they were in stock. :dunno:
Thanks I should not have been an ass .
I had to edit my post... So we're even. :P
:cheers:
you both steenk! You both sit on your GS500 when there are people around, but are secretly in vespa-scooter gangs :nana:
Moped Army!!!
I'm actually thinking about buying a scoot...
For my wife! :thumb:

JoChan23 does. So does GSjack. But you'd rather ask the question than Search for "Avon" so I'll let them tell you what they think of'em if they notice your post. (I searched and I already know.) ;)
Thanks another if your not helping why do you post.
What'ya mean? I gave you the names of two members you can PM to ask! If you want to be spoon fed, don't complain.
ok
I had a tire question too. I did a search, read a bunch of threads, did another search to get more specific information on the tires I narrowed it down to, and I finally decided I'd get stock size Pirelli Sport Demons. I'm running on Bridgestone BT45s right now. They aren't too bad, but they take a while to warm up.
dd1017 doesn't like that feature...
Get some Sport Demons!
