i think he is talking about hte road 2cts. they are $310 on SBTG. I wouldnt buy a tire from anywhere else but SBTG, love those guys and you cant beat the free shipping.
$299 on TireExpress
http://www.tireexpress.com/prod.cfm/cid/6706/pid/19298
Free shipping and if you call them up, ask them if they can "drop ship" from their nearest wharehouse. I've ordered tires from them for years and have gotten them shipped for free in as little as 2 days.
He Man, to each his own, if you are happy w/SBTG good for you.

Wow, that is cheap. Are you sure they don't sell tires that are "expired" or really old?

Since I don't work for them I can't really say. All I can say is that they are a reputable place, and all the tires I and my friends have ordered from them have worked out great. They are a sub-division of Competition Accesories and focus on just tires.

If you have any doubts call them up and ask them - otherwise purchase from a place you trust. No skin of my back eithe way...just passing along some cheaper options.

If you want a bit more variety of answers, there's a Sticky posted at the top of the tech section all about tires. Good info there with tire longevity, apparent stickiness, price, etc....

BT21's are great street tires and they are cheap. Front tire tread pattern is VERY loud. With all the racket my bike makes I can hear it much anyways.

Ended up getting the Pirelli Strada sport touring tire for the rear and wanted to run a regular tire up front since the front wears slower than the rear. I just figured why not use the extra grip from the softer compound up front. Is that a good idea?

Worked good when I did it on my S4.

I did a regular Diablo front, with a Diablo Strada rear.
No issues whatsoever on the street.
Also did a Diablo Corsa front with a regular Diablo rear.
Same concept, just a stickier pair.
Both sets worked fine

Just ordered the Diablo Rosso front. Came out to $98 including shipping. For you bargain shoppers out there, just enter "10YEARANNIV" at checkout for an additional 10%!

I was in cycle gear today and they recommended a sport touring front and regular rear. But what you said above makes a lot more sense. He also wanted to push me to a 180 rear. I didn't leave with any tires.

I think that a sport touring tire would be the best for 95% of my riding. I am planning on doing my first track day in the spring. Should I just suck it up and get a tire to support the track day? Or for a first track day, where I will probably be a big wuss, would a sport touring tire work?
