hello
I need some new tires for my GS500. What is a the best of the best tire.
important things to consider in your decision....
black
round
hold air
sorry, couldn't help myself.....
search...lots of tire reviews....
what type of riding depends on what tire to choose
and you didn't specify comuting/racing/sport riding in the twisties/?????
I think that most new tires are "good" in that they should be safe. It's just a matter of longevity or ultimate traction, and ideally at a decent price.

Here's (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=16501.0) a link to his thread in the GSTwin FAQ.
If you do a search using his nickname, you'll find tons of info on tires! :thumb: :icon_mrgreen:
I'll just throw out that I liked the Pirelli Sport Demons, and right now I'm running the Continental RoadAttacks, which I also like, but haven't been able to really run hard on them since its been mostly winter/colder weather since I got them and the mountains I prefer are rather... unsafe at the moment.
Overall, I'd say go with the Sport Demons, you'll be happy.
how much??
200 shipped for a set of Sport Demons.
Check Google.... they'll give you a list of suppliers.
about 250 or so for a set of Conti's.
150 width Sportec M1 It'll fit the rim, don't worry.
