Hi guys,
I introduced myself in the new member thread a few days ago. Many of you gave me warm welcomes and for that I'm grateful, I hope to contribute more to the forum in the future.
As was discussed a little in my introduction thread, I need new tires ASAP. One of my tires could be as old as 2008. I've seen many other threads with lots of back-and-forth over which tires perform best, different sizes, brands, etc. If any of you could just tell me a quick summary of what tires you recommend and why. I don't know anything about bigger tires vs. what is considered OEM and the pros and cons. Ideally I'd like to stick to the middle of the road (ha) on my budget.
I understand the importance of learning all the ins and outs and I can do that later. I've just completed one of six 12-hour shifts and ideally I'd like to just be able to check the replies, find a good fit, and order them since I'll be working the next few days anyways (it'll cut down on my thumb-twiddling waiting time). I really don't want to ride the bike much until I can get some reliable and SAFE tires on there.
Thank you all. I'll be reading your replies at work tomorrow. Cheers!
