Most likely any new tire you buy will work just fine....you have some good recommendations for tires that work well on the Savage...I am surprised that only one member mentioned the Michelin Commander II....they have very high ratings and work well for folks who put on a lot of miles.

The only tires I have ever hated are the ones that are 12 years old and have 9,000 miles on them....they just don't work well when they are that old and worn.  The bike rode so much nicer with new tires installed.

If you are riding 2,000 - 3,000 miles a year.......you will wear your tires out before they get too old and ride poorly.

Hey guys, thanks again for the advice. I got the D404s installed and I've put a bit over 100 miles on them. They seem pretty good.

I do have a quick question about tire pressure though. I assume the front tire will be the same as stock but I put a different size on the rear, 140/90-15. Do any of you know off hand what pressures I need? Or a good place to find it? I've found maxs but that doesn't seem overly useful.

I used the recommended pressures for the bike as noted on the belt guard.
