Tire suggestions???
Anyone have any suggestions on what rubber to put on my bike? I'm not looking for high end but i dont want something that is cheap and will ride like crap either...
The bike came with Continental rubber but i dont think i want to put them back on. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Tire suggestions???
I rode an R1 with PPowers on them and hated it... you take it off centerline at all and the damn bike wants to fall over - those things have the profile of a triangle! 
Just my thoughts on PPs. Some people like that so they can dive into corners that much quicker... to me - it was to the point of being dangerous though.
Q's and Attacks both have very aggressive profiles as well, but it is more graduated - doesn't feel like it wants to fall over when you take it from center.

Thanks for the suggestions... I put some Dunlop Qualifiers on the bike, so far so good. I didn't realize how bad my old rubber was until i put these on there.
