Best tire replacement

[SailnDive]

I will wear out the original tires the summer and I want to get a new set on hand. There is probably a thread on what the best replacement is. Any opinions? My bike is an RTS.

There's probably about 14 GaZillion threads about tires...
You'll need to find out if your dealer is willing to mount a non-OEM tire...
If they won't: can you get it done at a nearby tire shop?
Or perhaps even do it yourself??

As far as tires:
Kumho
General
Yokohama
Michelin

Seem to come up a lot...
But they're FAR from the only choices!
Happy shopping!

no miles on them yet but they are excellent tires in wet, performance dry & even grip in snow.
very similar to conti dws06. others may want cheap but i want good, my bike unlike others is
not cheap and deserves better then chinese or basic tires.

No such animal exists!
It's all in the rider's frame of reference.
And you know what they say about opinions, right?
