www.pureacceleration.com and look at the prices on your tire of choice. I know the owners of that business personally, you'll get a decent deal on tires.

Ok NOW you're getting picky! Um I guess they are kinda soft,but a rear will last me about 4000 miles and I change earlier than most. I am the resident shop-a-holic on this forum,shit I have two sets of tires sitting in my apt right now! If you give me an idea of what type of tire you want,I'm sure that I can help you!

I've ridden on Road Attacks and Maxxis M6029 Supermax and like both. I had the Conti-Forces that I didn't care for but got out 8000 out of (the ex got about 7000 out of the Road Attacks) and I'm on about 4000 on my Maxxis and they still have plenty of life. I'm not an aggressive rider, I don't think.

I have bought from http://www.swmototires.com/ and Cycle Gear (CG purchase was with the tire road hazard warranty thingie because I am good at finding sharp objects in roadways). I typically yank the wheels and take them to CG for mount/balance.

I have heard 2nd had that http://www.motoxoutlet.com/ isn't a bad place, but have no direct experience.

Ok,you don't know me but you can trust me on this...if you liked the Continentals/Maxxis tires,you are going to cream your panties if you try the Pirellis. I've tried several brands of tires and I always seem to come back to Pirelli. They make great tires,period. The Contis retail for about $200 a set,the Pirelli REAR retails for $200 by itself. I've heard good things about Continental but the accolades are usually followed by the words..."for the price". But if you are stuck on the Maxxis or Conti tires,I'll search for you and let you know!
