I'm going to need new tires for 1989/90 Katana 750/600 wheels (they're the same size, right?), and was wondering what to go with.
I daily ride my bike, and at times it's as cold as low 20s here. I understand that no tires are going to stick all that well in the cold, but I'd like something that isn't bad enough that it's unsafe. I also ride in the rain, so I'd like something that'll do decently then. I do a decent bit of freeway riding (minimum of about 30 miles/day), but take the fun way home when I can (reasonably twisty). I want something that sticks reasonably, but that I also won't be wearing out in 3k miles (hopefully more like triple that). Any suggestions?
Also, what sizes should I go with?
The bike in question is not a kat, but it's just about the same weight so I think it'll be about the same on tires as one. A bit less power though, and if it matters I don't care at all about appearance.
thanks
