I didn't realize that was the issue right away and just thought it was something about the bike. Dealer said that nobody else ever said anything like that about the bike.
If I ever do buy a new bike, it will certainly get a CT right away.
I am always seeing people say they can't find a tire to fit pre-10 bikes. What are you using?

I have RC Components wheels, front and back. The back is a 17" X 200 rim. I have a Yokohama 195/45/17 CT on it.

Usually CT have the white wall on one side. MTs are on both sides.
