What kind of tires Should i get?...
 

The bike is an SV, I dont want/need Sticky iky (or expensive), just something safe to ride around with. . . I don't know what to get? (i don't know $h!t about bikes)

For example, If we were to compare to car tires.

I'm not looking for a toyo RA-1 or a Falken Azenis, or A Hankook RS-2...

I want something like Toyo Proxes, or Falken Ziex, or Hankook HRII. . . . Follow me???

the sizes will be 120/60 F 160/60 R or maybe a 170, depends.

What do you recommend???

i always ran the pilot powers on my sv650 and loved them. cheap, sticky, very predictable. i also ran them on my gsxr when i was riding it on the street. you cant go wrong with them.

sportbiketrackgear.com has an awesome deal on them.

Call CycleGear in Norfolk and see if they have the 120/160 or 120/170 combo you want. Put your bike on stands and pull the front and rear wheels. Take the wheels to them and they should get you taken care of. They usually give a discount on tires and their install is about 10-15 cheaper per wheel if you buy the tire from them.

Even though it looks like you save money buying online, mounting and balancing the tires usually catches up with you...

+1 on the Pilot Powers. The EX500 and the F4 both have them now...

i have friends with the corsa III's and sounds like they're pretty much comparable to 2ct's. i love the 2cts

Re: What kind of tires Should i get?...
 

Are yours part of the ones they recalled? Even the Pilot Powers had a recall but only if they were made in France.

Re: What kind of tires Should i get?...
 

yeah i think it's only front 120/70's on the ct and regular but waiting on mine now. oh well. i've done 3 trackdays on it, ridden 211 countless times and tail of the dragon so it can't be that bad. i just want the free replacement
