This is a nice pic.

Is that the original OEM front tire? Looks a bit ol' school.

Thanks...that is OEM; many owners complain that these tires doen't do well on grooved hiways, or something like that, but I'm not a tire connoisseur, so a lot of that type of critique is lost on me!

They look like real old-fashioned tires from the ’60s. And they ride just like them on rain-grooved freeways, too. I haven’t been so sketched out since riding that giant BMW Adventure a few weeks ago in deep sand. Squeeze the bike with your knees, hold on lightly and don’t panic even though it feels like you’re riding with a flat tire; you’re probably not on the verge of wiping out".

Not flattering, but somehow, I still enjoy riding this bike.
