i was just wondering what brand and size rear tire do you guys run Let me know thanks

 

Michelin Pilot Power.....and you know this...man.

 

Check out the new sport rider magizine. They have a big thing where they tested like 25 different tires. Check it out. The new Dunlop Quialifier was the best I believe.

 

I am gonna need new tires late next season....SO guess I will have to check out the SPORT RIDER MAG... I have the stock dunlop's on mine....had heard the Pilot Power was GOOD... But am gonna check out the MAG.....

 

Are there any good online tire shops that you guys know of with the best deals? Or would it be better to just go to a dealership and have them order and install it for you. I'll be needing new tires after next season or close to the end of next season, so I want to be prepared.

 

here is a good web site

Yea don't buy tires from a dealership unless you know someone. Their prices seem to be high. I always order mine from chaparral motosports online. They have good deals.

 

I switched from the Dunlop ZR's to the Michelin Pilot Powers

 

After you purchase online, would you then take it to a dealership to install? Do they charge you an arm and a leg to install and balance? ie. cars would cost around $85-$100 to install tires and balance them. I'm hoping that for bikes it would be around $50 or less.

 

Would this be a good tire for someone who wants more durability and longetivity rather than absolute handling. I won't really be going to the track, just weekend joy riding.
