Tires that fit and Reviews.

This will take a long time to fill up.
Please post tires that fit, links to reviews, your reviews, milage, measured tread depth, and anything else you know. Over time this will show the best value in tires for your riding style.

I know there are more, but I am stopping for right now. Please feel free to correct any errors, voice any opinions as to what is good or not, and why you feel that way.

Maxxis makes tires that fit. They are a division of Cheng Shin. I have installed those tires on big trucks. Not because I thought it was a good idea, but because I was paid to. If you want to buy their tires here is there site.

They smell funny too. You know the smell, cheap rubber mallets at a flea market smell the same way.
This is only my opinion and not the opinion of the board.

Stock Tires in the Rain

What is the general consensus on handling with our stock tires in the rain? So far they seem fine for the street under fry conditions.

Thanks Jeff

Mine go just fine in the rain. I have the Bridgestone battle axe tires though so if you have dunlops you will have to ask one of the poor souls who have them.
When mine wear out its Avon storm st, or Metzler Z6, or Michellin pilot roads for me.
I am doing my best to wear them out. LOL
