If you want them put on for you, European Autoworks did a great job on Va Beach Blvd. and Tire Rack sent them right to the shop. Easy as shit and inexpensive as fuck. Good luck.

Re: need help with tire
yeah i looked there, but i couldnt figure out how to get bike tires instead of car tires. plus just from listening to everyone, i was looking at metzelers. i found one for a good deal here . i know its z rated but is it a pretty good tire too?

Re: need help with tire
yea thats a good replacement for what you probably had on there originally... my friend got insane amount of miles out of his SV w/ one, and half of them were on one wheel

Re: need help with tire
thanks for everybodys help. i had already ordered the metzeler Z6 RDTEC 150/70ZR17 before the other suggestions, but it didnt look like there was too much difference in price with any of them. i paid $108 + $8 for shipping so now i just gotta wait for it to come in.
