[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 258348, member: 1875"] I'm sorry, but for some reason I'm just now seeing your question about tire recommendation. Our home office is in Irvine CA. I recall most all of CA, especially Southern CA, having real asphalt. Not the 40-grit rubber grinder stuff we have around here. I would have to recommend you try a set of Mich Pilot Roads. They are a good tire combo with excellent mileage and reasonable handling. If you ride closer to triple digit speeds and do a lot of Northern CA twisties, then I would have no problem recommending the Diablo Strada front with the Metzeler ME880 170/60 rear. If most of your riding is done above the triple digit threshold, then Diablo Strada with the special E-series rear. But be forewarned, the E-series is almost impossible to mount by hand and tread life/mileage totally sucks. But it rocks at high speed!!! Jeff [/QUOTE]
