Default Damn, its hard to find tires for this bike?!

So, I been looking around (in town) and I cant find any good tires. I've found them, but only Qualifiers (which I've read good/bad review on them), I wanted the perillis but cant find the 16" front as they said its an "odd" size. What tires do you guys run and where do you guys get them at?

edit: (cbr 900rr 93')

Most of the top manufacturers still making the 16" tires out there. I don't find any problem finding a tire for mine. Currently I'm using a bridgestone bt014 for my front and I can say it works pretty well.

There's still plenty of choice, but you have to look online. I just put on Diablo Supersports and could not be happier. I think I paid $235 from Motorcycle Superstore.

rite now Im ridong on the M1 Metzler, they run out fast in my opinon, but it might be how I ride? I dont ride agressive either...dunno. BUt I do like the tires, they grip well. Anyways, Im surfing thru the net right now..hope I can find some soon as my tires are getting worn down pretty quick now-a-days, especially when the season is almost over (for me at least) I gotta get nuff time on the seat before I put the baby away for the winter!
