Ok so I purchased a Goodyear assurance triple tread P205/55R16 for Big Red off Tire Rack.Com and got it in two days. I didn't think the $147. was a lot but I am sure I'll hear that I paid too much. Took the bike and the tire to the local mechanic with a set of Cobra 6 x 6 pipes I picked up about a year ago.  So I hope to pick it up Tuesday or Wednesday this will be my first trip to the dark side. I think I am going to pull the trunk and luggage rack off and just leave the rear seat. The wife messed up her back and has not been able to ride for a while, so this will be my around town bike. I'll just have to figure out putting the flags back on.

July 2008 that tire was $114 at Tire Rack so that isn't a bad price.
Checked the air pressure in the morning when I knew the tire was
cool until I found a pressure I liked.  Have 41k on it now.

OOPS mine was a 205/60/16.
