[QUOTE="Ronny, post: 905342, member: 21323"] I replaced the tires as a set. The Bridgestone was cupped badly to warrant replacement of it also. I seem to recall the bike starting to do the fishtailing one day comming from work. It was so slight I didn't know if I was imagining it. It did it a little more again so I thought it maybe the worn spot on the rear. That is why I replaced them. Normally I don't ride too much except at low speeds as a bicycle referee in road races. So I didn't pick up on this problem right away. When I did hit the highway, it was very apparent. I did some inspection, like the front headset, I retorqued it and checked everything else. I also checked all the engine mount bolts since the engine is essentially part of the frame. I only found 1 bolt a little loose. So what is the concensus of the best tire for these bikes? I sort of thought it was the Conti's Assult 2, which is what I got for it. This bike is almost like new with a little more than 7000 miles on it. Never down. [/QUOTE]
