Author Message   Is11b1p Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 07:14 pm:        I just bought a Avon back tire for my Cyclone. I like it but I don't have enough miles under my belt to tell the difference between tires.(3,000 on this bike) What tires do you guys prefer? What tires would you recommend for a Cyclone? Just wonderin what your preferences are.

I got 10k miles out of my rear, and the front needs replaced now at about 14k. But I only weigh 130 lbs which probably contributes to the high mileage. Can't wait to see how long the Diablo Stradas last that I have on now BTW I just called Cycle Gear.. tomorrow you can get a set of Pirelli Supersport for $189.99. That's for a 120 front / 180 rear combo. They told me $20 per wheel for mounting as long as you take the wheels off yourself.   Ebutch Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 08:53 pm:        Round one,s(sport touring compound)Less expensive the better!   Is11b1p Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 08:55 pm:        Anybody use Avon? What do you think of them?   Is11b1p Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 08:55 pm:        Thanks for the info.   Sleez Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 08:56 pm:        i run pilot roads on the S1W, like them so far. of course i like the dunlops too!!!   Eshardball Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 07:20 am:        I have Pilot Powers but Cycle Gear has an incredible sale on Pirellis right now!If you need tires nows the time.   Is11b1p Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 10:27 am:        I don't need tires yet but I will have to get a front tire in about 1000 miles. Oh by the way if you live in Maryland do not go to Cecil Customs Cycle shop in Elkton. Thats were I got my back tire put on. I picked the bike up and rode it home. It was about a 20 mile drive. When I got it home I was looking over the bike and noticed that my back brake caliber was missing a bolt and the other one was backed half way out. That could of been a bad spill if the caliber came all the way off. So I called the guy up and gave him a piece of my mind. He tried to right his wrong by giving me free brakes. I took the brakes and rolled. Last time he will ever see my bike. Spread the word do not go to Cecil Customs. Would hate to see somebody crash because of some shop not doing their job correctly.   Pkforbes87 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 02:08 pm:        Just got back from Cycle Gear with my newly mounted Strada front. $156 total for the tire + mounting & balance + road hazard The package tire deal for $189 sounds like a GREAT deal but I've already got nearly brand new Strada and Metzler M3 rears available, just need to replace the M3 front and that'll be two sets of tires ready for lots of miles! That was the first time I've used Cycle Gear, and I think I'll be going back. They had me out the door in less than 30 minutes.
