I believe we are talking about a stock Savage tires.
He said he was on his CB250 Nighthawk.

...I drove a bike in the rain for the very
first time
last night. I didnt plan it that way...it was cloudy all day but no rain, the doppler radar in my riding area showed ZERO rain for 150 miles and a 5% chance of any precip at all in my area(I use the Raleigh RDU Aviation weather forecast instead of my local "news" weather). I took the Honda Nighthawk out for a ride at about 11PM like I do most every night when the weather is good. I do roughly 40-50 miles for practice and relaxation.
I got 22 miles from home when it just started raining. Not a downpour mind you, but it was a light steady rain. I am not embarrassed to admit I was a bit concerned.
PS Can anyone recommend a "sticky" tire brand for me? I'm not worried so much about longevity....I'll likely do less than 1,000 miles a year on any bike I own. A sticky tire with a nice side tread would make me feel a lot better.
Well somehow forgot that after 2 pages of discussion. He was on the Nighthawk in his first rain riding, and he wants tire recommendations.
But for which bike?
I seriously doubt that anybody makes a tire in the sizes for both a Nighthawk and a Savage!
