Author Message   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 11:43 am:        Due to other things in my life, the Buells had taken a back seat for me. But now I'm back into riding on a regular basis. That being said...it's been a few years since I've had to put tires on my S3T. I've run almost every brand out there in the past 14 years, so I'm not brand loyal. Most of my riding on this bike is commuting. It's 150 miles round trip each day on superslab. Nothing exciting but the gas savings are great! So what's out there now for tires? Thanks!   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 12:36 pm:        Oh lord...another tire thread... I run Michelin pilot road 3s. Dual compound, excellent treadwear, but still sticky all the way to the sidewall.   Schmidt452 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 01:24 pm:        +1 On the Michelin pilot road 3s.   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 02:03 pm:        I know, I know....the dreaded tire thread I was leaning towards the Pilot Road 3 or 4. Seems like the leftover stock of Pilot Road 3 is the better bang for the buck   Another_bueller Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 02:17 pm:        I like Metzler Z7s. Good straight up tread ware, great laid over traction.   Phelan Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 02:20 pm:        I'll be honest.. Leftover stock is generally fine with me because I can get a pair for $200 or less most of the time. I ordered a set of Conti Trail Attacks for that last week. It makes a lot more sense when you change and balance your own tires though because it saves you $75-150 each change .   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 02:28 pm:        Phelan...where did you get the Conti for that price? I found the Michelins for $263 a pair shipped.   Phelan Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 02:53 pm:        http://www.ebay.com/itm/131242266269?ssPageName=ST RK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649   Damnut Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 03:41 pm:        I just put on a pair of Pilot Power 2ct on my S3T and so far so good. I've heard great things about the tread life on the pilots.   S1owner Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 05:01 pm:        Pilots work for me and one of my local shops gave them to me for 250 installed me bringing them the rims.   Purpony Posted on Monday, July 21, 2014 - 09:02 pm:        Pilot Road 2, love them.   Lynrd Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - 11:21 am:        Amsoil 20W50 Engine and primary. whoops, wrong thread   Lakes Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - 03:55 pm:        II like Bridgstone Battle Ax duel compound, they stick when going hard around corners feel great wear good if you ride long straight strechs. i had Michelin Pilot before & bridgtone feel better.
