What tires are you guys running?
I cooked my Michelin notched supermoto slicks and need to get a replacement set. Looking for max dry grip, life isn't as important. Needs to be a soft compound as I'm running the CRFR. Suggestions?

I run those supermoto "pregrooved slicks" and have for a long while, they will grip until the pegs scrape and last forever so I don't see any reason to swap out.

I have those now, but they are hard to get a hold of. Michelin doesn't sell non DOT race tires except to race related venues now for whatever reason.

Thanks... the dunlops have weird sizing. I may call the other 2. I'd like to find something I could buy a from a local dealer I used to work at. I'm friends with the head parts guy and he always hooks up me up.

Is there such a thing as a good rear tire for this bike that's under 200$? Seems like it's 250ish/rear for those. Mich Power Pure rears are only like 150$. I smoked the set of slicks I had on mine.. loved em, but I don't want to have to have them completely cooked after a couple of months at 250 a piece.
