Im a bit out of the loop on recent tire developments. I know many of you are big track guys, and many are street folks. I do something like 10% track 90% street. Perhaps you can help me by letting me know what you run, and if you suggest it. Factors are: grip, longevity, price, and taste, but not in that order.
I just started the bike today (first time this year!), went for a warm up ride, changed the oil, and had a flat rear tire by the time the oil change was done. Super. Looks like I ran something over and it is still in there.
The 2007.5 tuono rear tire is a 190/50 ZR17 (it can also take a 190/55, not sure what the diff would be).
If there are any pre-season deals out there (bostonmoto, duncanmoto, larrys tire world, etc.) I would love to hear about them. Im looking at the Pilot power 2CTs, supercorsas, or pilot power pures, but am still searching. Also, if I order them for cheap online, does anyone in the RI/southern mass area mount for a small fee/beer? Only experienced hands please, I have those gorgeous Aprilia blue wheels and am scared of getting them dinged up on a tire changing machine.
Thanks all.
