Hi, you may remember me from other frequently repeated threads such as "What's this wiring harness plug connected to nothing sticking out the left side of my frame", "Why won't my bike start", and "Why is my gas tank a vacuum". Well, I'm back with another one.
Key information-
*I've put about 6000 miles on the bike now with stock tires, which are actually the stock tires from another speed 4. The tires themselves probably have about 10k miles on them. They need to be replaced.
*I live in MA
*This is my first bike, so the latest greatest super sticky tires are probably not going to benefit me at all.
*Bike is my only transportation, so I ride in the rain when it's raining, in the hot when it's 100 degrees, and in the cold when it's 30 degrees. I guess when it's snowing, I'll be walking.
*Triple digit speeds and wheelies occur on a daily basis
*My financial situation dictates that there will be no track time in the near future
*I usually don't push my riding abilities in corners on the street. There seem to be a lot of trees and guardrails that would ***** me up good if I hit them. But, when I do find myself in appropriate corners, I do push my abilities.
*I'm poor, so if the cheapest tire available has a cost of 1, the most expensive tire I will consider will have cost of 1.35.
I guess I'm looking for a tire that has good traction in cold and wet weather, and offers the best dry traction for the price range I'm considering. Any suggestions?
