Nice board. I have a turbo Busa for race and just picked up an 02 Bird. It's completely stock. I drive 120 miles round trip to work everyday and needed to give my honda del sol a bit of a break. She is going to need new tires and was wondering what you guys suggest for commuting. I'm pretty easy on my stuff. Just saying hi and hope this board doesnt have all the drama that the busa and psychobike boards have. Later Joe

Pilot Roads or Pirella Stradas...that's just my opinion though.
If you asked three different people you'd probably get three different answers.
Welcome aboard.

Welcome, Joe. My riding is 90%commuting/10%sport. I currently have 5,300 miles on my Pirelli Diablo Stradas and they are barely showing any wear. Great tires.

Welcome.
I was also going to recommend the Michelin Pilot Roads or Pirelli Diablo Stradas-heard very good things on both. (I purchased the P.Roads and plan to install them in the next month or so I can tell you first hand experience in the near future).
