I'm not an aggressive rider, I don't think.

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!

I'm not really stuck on them, but I do like them. A friend suggested the Pilot Roads as he really likes them on his SV and we have a similar riding style.

I like a tire that will last a while because I have to make my money count, ya know? I'm in the position where I can get an extra set for later.

Ummm...also if anyone knows where there's good deals on chain and sprockets for my bike (NO ALUMINUM!!!), I'd appreciate that info too as I'll stock up on that too.

If youre considering the pilot roads, also check out the road 2s. Same long lasting middle with the grip on the outside of the pilot power. Derby cycles has them for about as cheap as I could find, they may have the roads cheap too.

Rogue, what size tires you need. I have some pilot power takeoffs that are in realy good shape. I have another set on my futura and have over 5k miles on them and theyre holding up fine.

Store here bout 45 minutes north of me that sells all their tires under cost, and only charges $10 to mount to a rim. I got my last rear Dunlop Qualifier for a shade over $100.

www.sportbiketrackgear.com has great prices on Michelin. I've also ordered from www.compacc.com

Right now I'm running 120/60's on the front (I know that's not the stock size but it fits) and 160/60s (I think...I'll go look later) on the rear.
