Seems like a never ending chore , kind of like laundry … there just ain't no long term solution  !

I recently came into possession of a 2007 GS-500 with lots of problems , one of which is bald tires .  
There was a rear (down to wear-bars) tire in the shop that should last till I sell the bike in the spring.    
The Front is a different matter.    Has anybody tried the Kenda 671 tire ?  
If I was keeping the bike I'd spring for a AM26 AVON , but being that its a resale machine … the smallest investment = the biggest return .  

Ohiomoto:

You linked to the Motorsports tires....and the AM26 racing compound.

The AM26 street compound is available in a wide range of sizes.

Must be a fast tire!!  Or just wears out fast? hahah



I was contemplating a slimmed down grasstrack/speedway style build with 19" hoops front and rear.  Not a ton of 19" tires that will fit a stock swingarm.

Metzlers cost up front.
But, with just a little over 5,000 miles of hard accelerating, quick stops, downshift, the rear is finally squaring off.
I figure I'll avoid at least one tire change, Ohhh, wait, I already have! Every Other tire has been dead at 5,000, I may get around twelve, so, save thirty bucks or so in tire swap labor, and then the balance beads, tube, that drops the cost of the tire.
AND I'm not pulling the wheel so often.

Downside
A little exciting on wet roads and hot enough to be greasy corners.

only looking at the Kenda for a machine I'm planning on selling with "Fresh Rubber" to sweeten the de..
You'd be an idiot to go for the good stuff.
