to get stock size I am going with a perelli front and a Shinko or Bridgestone rear. That is how nuts it is.1973cb750_imp said:

Motosport.com has 2 stock sized Pirelli sport demon fronts "in stock" $138.99
They are out of stock on the rear stock sizes. But would be priced at $198.99 if they had them.

I had difficulty finding a matched pair for my Bonneville recently.
Found that Amazon had the best availability for the model I wanted. Might give that a try.

Speaking of tire sticker shock... Just got an unrepairable flat on my car.
Five years ago, the Firestones cost me $85 each. I got the bill for one replacement and my heart stopped. Same tire today is $174.

Metzler Z8 and Bridgestone T32 are both radials that come in stock sizes. I recently switched from the Z8 to the T32 and I really like them - the jury is still out on how they wear but it's looking good so far.
I used the Bridgestone B54 for years but I think it has been discontinued for a while - if you find a pair of those for sale, just watch the manufacture date to make sure they're not too old. The T32 tires I bought a couple of months ago had "1422" for 14th week of 2022 on the sidewall.

I do have to say I've enjoyed the sport demons, granted they are the only tire I've had on the CB and the CB is the only street bike that I’ve had but they've both been good to me so far. You might be able to call up motosport and get on a notifiy list for when they get a rear in stock, might get lucky and they'll have one for your next set lol. Their customer service is stellar.Klamathonian_imp said:
Enjoy the new shoes! I really liked the feel of when the fresh tires wore off the slickness.

I will be needing new tires for my 2013. Is there a way to mark or subscribe to this thread so I don't lose track of it?

if you just bookmark this page in your browser it'll bring you right back.
Also, over the years that this forum has existed there are frankly COUNTLESS tire threads. though many of them are way out of date in terms of whats currently in production. my next set of tires will be the 4th different set of tires i have used for my bike.
Starting with the original Bridgestones from the factory > the legendary and frankly perfect Michelin PR3 > the Avon Spirit ST II which is only recently discontinued > a hard choice Bridgestone t32 and Metzeler Z8. I guess we'll find out in another 5k miles.

Well, I don't ride my bike a lot or real hard/fast when I do, but the Metzler Z-8s have been real good so far. Ordered them from either Cycle Gear pr Revzilla at a very reasonable price two years ago.

I got new tires just over a month ago, ordered through the dealer, Bridgestone. Even with that it took some looking, I got my 2nd choice.
I had 6500 miles on the tires that came off, ment to get some last year. The front tire had some cupping, it was also time to change anyway.
I can’t imagine to much ‘old stock’ on the shelf, with shortages.
