I just got a set of Michelins XZX's nice tire ,good looking tread pattern (
very classic) . Their about $75 apiece now from a local ( LA ) tire place
installed . British Wire Wheel in Aptos,Ca. also carries other brands but
these look the best.Haven't gotten far on them yet as I just broke a
pushrod..
