Tire Help
Well my stock tires are gone. What do you guys recommend?
I ride around the streets of LA and mostly in the Malibu canyons. Need something that will make me feel confident.
Any help is appreciated, and if you know of good places that have bargains, please post up.
Thanks,
Jeremy

I can't wait for my stock tyres to wear out so I can get some Pilot Powers.

How did you like your stock ones ?

New tires are always something I can get a little excited about...

Bridgestone Bt016 front and Bt021 rear. Great supersport front and sport touring combo for the street. Your tires should wear out about equally.

Pilot Powers are great. If looking for mileage too. I run a standard Pilot Power in the front & a Pilot Road 2 in the rear. Good grip with good mileage (over 5,000 mi. for both) Only drawback, rear will spin until warm.

Anyone know if these come in a 190 rear (for a 6" rear rim)?

the pilot roads actually heat up quicker than the PP's. That is one of the reasons why I like that combo for the street.

stock ones were ok but just never had much confidence while riding on them, never felt like is was hooking up to the road perfectly.
they lasted around 2600 miles
