Default Tire Options

Are there any other tire options? Specifically for the front tire?

I think that a normal tire is more round that the ones that comes with this bike, so putting on regular tires might make the bikes handling a bit worse if that is why you want to change?

I’m just looking for a tire that won’t be bald at 5000 miles. Right now I’m at 4000 and it is on the wear bars.

took her to N Ga mountains. this thing eats sportbikes for lunch! these tires are indescribably good! but for country road cruising, which is what I do most of the time, I wouldn't mind a less expensive option. wearing out tires of this caliber while going slow in mostly straight lines gives me anxiety!
