Hey all:

I would like to know what tires would be good replacements than the OEM ones for the 2007 Bonnies.

I'm hoping to get a tire that's less expensive than the OEM ones. I tend to do a lot of "spirited" riding through twisties..so spirited that within a month of ownership, my peg sensors are down to nubs...so I'm looking for a tire with good grip and at the same time good tire life. So far, I'm happy with the OEMs one...

BUT, if anyone out there knows a tire better than OEM and is cheaper, I would like to know. All input is greatly appreciated

Not sure if their cheaper but the pirelli sport demons rock. If your into spirited riding and riding the twisties I would highly recomend them. Rear tire 140/80 $196.95, front tire 110/80 $158.95, these are Canadian prices.

+2 on the PSD's. If you ride like you say you do, you sure don't need a "cheap" tire, and I doubt if there is such a thing anymore.

I agree that the Dunlap GT 501's are nice. I actually just ordered my third pair today. They wear really well and handle like a champ!

And from the same seller to help with shipping. I have no idea about the quality of these tires but I'm thinking of buying them for my "Slam & Rake" bonnie project
