Any of you guys know where i can find a good deal on a back tire for my yamaha? I want something better than the shitty bridgestones that came on the bike. Thanks.

Nice thanks man.

Should I buy a new front tire if I am getting a back or does it matter? Also what is a good brand to get?

I would get a whole new set, expecially if you are switching brands.
I am a Dunlop man myself. I will be trying the new 208Gp's as soon as I save up the cash. I am trying those out because of race school. In the past I have used the D207's but they were discontinued.
What kind of riding do you do mostly?

Around town but sometimes i take my bike up in the mountains to hit some curves. I have heard the stock bridgestone on my bike suck for cornering. They seem to lose traction easily. So i want something that I dont have to worry about slipping under me.

You ever heard anything about the Metzeler Sportec-M1's? I think I might get those as they seem like a good deal.

hey, I didn't know you worked there! That's pretty cool, I'll stop by some time :) (heh, and I still need to pick up that heat shield from you if you still have it )

Well I got Dunlop 208's instead. They make a huge difference. Its like a new bike. Those Bridgestones were pure crap. When i cornered on those they would slip or push up and had bad grip. The Dunlops are excelent. They corner extremely smooth, and have excellent grip. I had no idea a tire could make that much of a difference.
