Tires for the SV
 

looking to replace the tires on the sv for PC

i am thinking about a set of pilot roads or pirelli strada

opinons, price options?

whats your guys take on this

(read:cue up the tigger pricing machine)

or avon storms

found a set of pilot roads for 270 shipped from stg

Pilot Road 2

if she rode harder then i would agree, but its a bit over kill right now lol
fyi
120/60/17
160/60/17

Does that take a 160 on the rear?

yeah

for comparision
a road 2 is 319
p.road is 270
per set

Ha we posted at the same time! Can the bike take 70 series tires? Just asking since I have a Pirelli 160/70/17 sitting here.

looking up the possibility of it fitting as we speak

I say try the storms. I been considering them for awhile as a touring tire.

From bike bandit
type price front, price rear
avon storms 131 and 171
strada 114 143
pilot road 127 fronts only
road smart 121 153

road attacks 123, 145

I like Contiental Road Attacks myself. Here's where I got mine, although it looks like the price has gone up a little.

Edit: Looks like the Sport Attacks are about the same price.

Well?

I'm using BT021's on my CBR. They stick well and wear well.
I just priced a set from Moto Superstore for $247. They were in the 120/70 - 180/55 size, so narrower may be less?

If you call Cycle Sector right now Diego will sell you a set of BT-016s for $239 shipped in the sizes you posted. I think that this would be an excellent tire for the SV.

If you can get an order of 10 items or more MAW will sell to you at wholesale pricing and will still beat anyone else's price.

I have been doing this for 3 years or so now.

I just use the stock ones. I'm boring. :)

I put the roads on mine. Comonboys hasn't complained yet... :idk:

I've been very pleased w/my Michelin Pilot Roads. Have gotten a lot of mileage out of them but commuting is taking a toll. Lookin' at replacing w/Road 2s. W/AMA discount on Bike Bandit, I can get a set for $330. The Roads are about $270 to my door. Not too bad of a deal.

AMA discount?........ FUCK! I have an AMA card! Damn!:panic:
