I'm just about at the wear bars front and rear on the new-to-me sumo wheels, so its tire time. I know nothing about street motorcycle tires. Long wearing is my #1 priority, I rarely push it on the street and with winter coming I don't see me going to the track before spring, when this set of tires will be worn out anyways. Price is important too, trying to keep it under $200 for the set and better if its under $150 hence ignoring the Distanzia's...
I'm probably going to keep riding all winter, so I'm also debating just getting a 90/10 dual sport tire like the Shinko 705 or a 50/50 tire like the 244 to better deal with the sand, salt, slush, and other accumulated crap thats already starting to infect the roads again.
Also thinking about the Duro HF918's as they're cheap at ~$120 a set. Or just getting another stock BT090 rear and using the barely worn front I have in the basement. Or the Continental SM or Sport Touring tires (Go or Motion). Or I dunno, help?
Stock tire size is 110/70-17 front and 140/70-17 rear, not a ton of room for more on either end. 120/70-17's and 150/60 and 150/70's fit respectively, depending on the rear tire, but raise the front and either raise or lower the rear (and gearing) respectively. For my WR250X...
