dont change the stock size!!! best deal around is Road Rash down on Rte 30. i have gotten my tires from there since i needed replacements. i currenty run pilot powers on my RR, my old set of diablos were nice but i like the PPs better. i first had the bt-014s and not bad tires good for mileage. my biek came with 190/50 rear and i like it some go back to a 180/55 since it turns in alot easier. never go wider then you have to. also on a torque bike like try a compound that is more suited to last longer then what i run ---

Yea… i had very bad luck w/ the D208… got 1700 miles outta it… it was a 190 (the stock size for my bike)… i went w/ the 180 this last time when i got a Continental ContiForce… and I loved it… I just ordered a Bt014 yesterday… the guys at the shop said its a great all around tire… i got it in a 180… i really prefer that… especially w/ the extra weight my bike carries, it makes it handle 100% better than the 190 ---

> [@Quik](#): > > you should match the tires on the bike!!! x2 different tires have different heat cycles and compounds. Not something you want to deal with when bending corners
