My recommendation depends on what you ride (Nighthawk 250, 450, 650, 750, etc.). I might be willing to try cheap tires on a 250 that I wouldn't try with my 750, but only because I've seen cheap tires on 250s in action in MSF courses, and with my fat ass, I doubt a 250 would move very fast, and with spoke wheels, they would have inner tubes anyway, making them harder to puncture.
On my nighthawk 750, I've used nothing but the OEM Dunlop K505 tires. The only thing I don't like about them is that I wear out the rear tire in about nine months, so it feels like I'm always buying tires. Someone once recommended Dunlop RoadSmart II sport touring tires for the Nighthawk 750, but if I'm going to switch tire types, I'm going to change both, not just one, and I haven't gotten around to it yet. The rear tire is not available in the proper size (140/70H-17), but the RoadSmart II at 150/70ZR-17 should fit. Based on Javier's suggestion, I might also consider Battlax Sport Touring T30 Evo Tires. Like the RoadSmart II tires I mentioned above, you probably have to step up in width size from 140mm to 150mm on the rear tire to use sport touring tires, but like I said, they should fit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
