Title: what are the best tires price/quality
Post by: hhgsm31 on January 25, 2006, 09:28:01 AM
I am buying the 99 that has been on sale here and it says that it needs new tires. I won't know exactly when I'll need them unitl I see the bike, but what are the best tires for the buck and how much are they? I don't need super high performance, but I know that the cheapest ones don't last near as long.

thanks
Adam

Look at this excellent thread by GSjack, the god of all things tire related.

Cut and paste it if you have to, but read it.

GSJack is the tire GURU!!!

There's lots of tire debate threads...  I know a lot of people here have pretty strong love for the tires they use... I like my Sport Demons. ;)

OMG YUSS SPORT DEMONS

Seriously. Good tires for the street. I think there are better track options though if you get a different rear wheel on here though (allowing 150 rubber with proper fitment).
