Im looking for some new tires to put on my gs500e. Its a 93 so I dont wna put 2 much money into it. I have a 2004 gsxr-600 and that my real baby, the gs500e is just a bike I use to get around town. I wna get some tires for it. I dont wna spend much money. It still has the stock tires on it. Any suggestions? Online store. Thanks

Southwest Moto doesn't have much in the way of cheaper tires.

Try:  http://www.chaparral-racing.com/Chaparral/dept.asp?dept_id=456&mscssid=0C337EFBD88984B99963AA0CAEFB8CF5&Gift=false&GiftID=

A OEM size pair of Kenda K671 tires for $93

Or try:  http://www.americanmototire.com/

Pair OEM size Maxxis Promaxx tires $90  (about same $$ at Chaparral)

Pair of Avon AM51-52 tires for $105

I've gotten best service from Chaparral, AMT is slower.

The Avons are probably the best of these and worth the difference.

Add $18-20 for shipping to all above prices.

I was in the same boat as you (except without the GSX-R, ha!), and got the ProMaxx.  I didn't want to buy radials, then risk getting a nail in them the next week.   I second the recommendation of Chaparral.  Some of the tire mail-order shops are a cut below the typical motorcycle mail-order shops.

With the Promaxx tires already on the bike, I may just go on buying them.  Bu if I were starting over, I'd try the Avon 51/52.  

Note: safety is really important, and the Bridgestone BT045 is the probably the best tire for around-town riding.
You cannot escape our master plan!
