T Tires
Many people complain about the tires on the T. I came across this info on the HSATF, thanks to Fredrider.
The Valk-size tires (180/70-16) are less expensive than the OEM T rear tire (170/70-16). They ride and handle as well and probably a little better than the stock tire plus many of them last 50% longer or more. I would recommend first Dunlop's Elite III, then Avon's Venom R, Bridgestone's Excedra G702 and Metzeler Marathon ME880 all in the 180/70-16 size.
Usually you can find good prices at
Motorcycle Accessory WarehouseWarning - If you buy tires from one of these sources, you will either have to mount them yourself, or find a shop willing to mount them for you.
