Could you better define what you want? Aggressive is a very vague term.

I’m amazed at the sarcastic responses I’ve gotten asking a simple question. And to me “aggressive tire” is pretty specific. Ultras come with a street tire and I’m look for a more aggressive tread than street I don’t know how much simpler to state my question. I must have mistaken this forum. Most other vehicle forums I’m on are for asking questions about upgrades or different accessories for that vehicle. This seems more like a chat room.

Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Since your can't or won't describe what you are looking for, Google is your friend.

Usually , the normal etiquette is to introduce yourself. Then ask questions. Hence the sarcasm.

If you are not going to ride your Ultra "on the street" maybe you should let us know where and what type of riding you are going to do.

We cannot read your mind or know how/where you are going to ride.

You may think it is a simple question in your mind; however, there are many variables with tires and how they are used.

Are you going to ride street & gravel, street & dirt, dirt only, gravel only, sand, or a combination of all?

You’re asking about an “aggressive” tire for what many consider the ultimate touring bike…so yes you need to be just a little more specific than the vague manner in which your opening question was worded. And yes a little intro would be nice too! By no means a chat room. Many very knowledgeable folks here more than willing to help provided appropriate questions and information is provided.
again, welcome!

You *really* have no idea how to clarify what you’ve seeking?
Just not many adjectives in your vocabulary, apparently.
Ok, I’ll play along, and recommend KoldKutter.
