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.

I have a stack of Diablos in my basement, When they had the buy a rear get a front. I got a set, my dad got a set, my wife got a set at work, and a friend of mine that does not ride got a set. It helped that I had a friend that already sold them and sold me the rears pretty cheap.

Such a generous friend you are.

I thought I'd use them up in a year or two but I forgot I'm married and we don't ever ride anymore.
