Default New tires for my VFR...

Hey guys, just looking for some opinions on a set of tires for my 98' VFR.

I weigh around 175, if it matters, and I do alot of slab riding.

I really have no idea what to look for...

Also, I'd like to stay inexpensive, but my cheap-bastardy-ness will be overridden by my love of living.

Thanks for your time.

I"d invest in Pilot Roads made by Michellin. they're excellent tires for the money. that or a set of BT45's from Bridgestone. both are sticky tires for when you get the urge to go corner carving, or take that offramp WAY faster than usual, yet long lived for your good old interstate riding.

Viffer bump

I've wanted a 98-01 VFR for a long time. Might get one this summer if I find a decent deal.

Good luck to you on finding a good one. I love my baby.

Are there any good sites with ratings for tires or anything?

Oh, and Merry X-mas to all y'all.

Well, I'm thinking the Pilot Roads, or Bridgestone BT021s...
