Default What a difference

Just changed out pirelli tires with 3-4 mm to new cooper tires. Feels like I’m riding on air.

I've heard other members say nice things about Cooper tires.
I might give them a try since I'm beginning to approach toward the treadbar- not there yet but will need tires either before holiday traveling or when I get back.
What model tire did you put on?

Also, I'm going to run my tires an extra 3-5 PSI on the highway as recommended by members on here when I travel and see if it helps with floating at high speeds.

Default Tires

I prefer a pirelli or Michelin. I found these online for $109 each at priority tire but I think discount tire will match price. Not sure. Free shipping also Very buttery and quiet. I am impressed so far
