    What tyres to buy?

    I got a gsxr 05 600 with a bald rear. Front one is ok but I figure I might as well do both and upgrade from stock tires. I only do road riding but wana get on to the track soon. How much does it matter what tire I get and is more expensive better?

    just choose your favouite brand of tires, be it michelin, bridgestone, pirelli etc and get there sport rubber.

    I have gone thru 3-4 of sets of Pilot Powers on my k4 gsxr 600.
    Usual pick up a set for $500-$550

    How much does it matter? Oh I dunno, your tyres are only your interface with the road! Nah, psshhhh, find the cheapest ones you can get your hands on.
