Thanks, Teddy. While I respect your opinion, what Hank says goes, he's a moderator after all.

I got my pirellis today by UPS, I put the front tire on and can already notice a huge difference when riding. Now I await my socket set for a 24mm socket in order to remove the rear wheel, thought I had one, turns out I don't.

Go for softer compound Pirelli or Kenda tires. And ride carefully when on a 10" bike. Good luck.
Thanks. I got the Pirelli SL-26 tires that Hank recommended. With just one tire the riding is tremendously different.

Hey lykos23,
sorry to hear about your accident, we all have to be careful (thanks for the info, never even thought about something like that). Hope you have a speedy recovery. I just bought shinko tires 130/60/13 and I really like them, rated for 75mph.
Nice. I hope your shinko tires work well for you and that nobody else is unfortunate enough to come upon an abundance of lawn clippings in the road with bald tires like I did. Regretfully my shoes will never recover, but my hand and knee are already painless, it wasn't too bad of a fall.
