Where do you live? Do you have normal amenities, like a fridge and white skin?
I'm really having trouble picking a tire here. i feel like I've always heard "get pr4s and shut up" but i wanna be sure, especially because i can't source that. i don't ride on the track, i commute (90% highway) aggressively on the street, rain or shine because Oregon. i stay below 120 mph. i think soft wall sounds right because i need mid corner maneuverability because of the way the roads in my area are. i commute. obviously i want to save money but price isn't a serious issue because good tires are important. i ride a '00 sv650.

if it matters, i have ebc double h sintered breaks and i weigh 130 lbs. everything else that could conceivably affect handling is stock

... can someone help me? tires are so complicated and i don't wanna wear these continentals in the rain season again.

I you're replacing tires you might as well grab some 90 degree valve stems as well and never have your rotors get in the way of your tire gauge again.

I'm probably gonna have cyclegear replace them since they do it for free unless someone tells me that it's dumb.

If you supply your own stem yeah, it's free.

yeah the only problem is that i only ride a motorcycle so I'll have to beg them to do to it same day and borrow 4 wheels for the delivery. sure beats dealer prices though

Not sure about your location, but we always sent people to a nearby shop if they were desperate to get it done asap. The shop was a little more expensive, but if you brought them the wheels off the bike, they changed the tires while you waited.

change while you wait would make me sooo happy
