I need new tires ASAP. My bike barely passed inspection due to just that fact that they were so bald. I typically use my bike for just city riding, the longest distance I go is about 50 miles to school, but even then that's only once a week. I'm not into racing or anything like that, I strictly use my bike for just leisure riding. What is the best tire brand to get? Best website to buy them from? Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks! I keep reading on here about the Z6's.. what's the deal with those exactly? I see they run you about the same as the Continental at about $215 for a pair...
I'd rather get a better tire, if the Z6's are, for the same if that's the case.

On RonAyres.com my size tires are running at that price for the Z6. The front is $100.38 and the rear at $115.65, only $12 shipping! But I also think I found a Coupon COde through google. Do you think I'm better off paying a little more for the Z6 than the Conti Force on IronPony?

I love my Z6's. I mostly just commute but on the weekends I go and tear up the twisties in the mountains. The Z6's stick very well and they seem to be lasting a good long time. I have about 3000 miles so far and there is a LOT more tread life. I've even been to the track one day with them. Never had a slip.Black IS the fastest color!

While on the subject of tires..... I've thought about getting a wider one for the rear just for appearance sake. Is there any benefit to that??? My bike is stock (Metzeler Roadtec G6) so I'm not even sure how wide I can go. If it means getting a new rear rim I'll just leave things alone. Any thoughts?sigpicLife throws you curves......enjoy the ones you get when riding.
