Need tire and battery advice

[NOcageRus]

Hi,

So I was hoping for the best this winter and thought I could get away from not putting my trickle charger on my battery. Clearly that was not a good idea lol. So any thoughts on which battery to get, or just go to suzuki and grab one there.

Also its time to change the rear tire. Any advice on a good all around tire and where to get it? I ride a gsxr

Thanks.

go to rosey toes, one stop shop. ted has got your tire and battery all ready, call him at 416-421-2523, and don't pay dealership prices again.

You can get a new Pilot Power rear tire for $125 CAD taxes in if you're willing to drive across the border. The battery is $50

Where's a good place in the USA to get tires? My buddy and I are willing to hop on over to save on costs, and we both need tires.

You can get a SET of front and rear Michelin Pilot Powers for $214.95 USD taxes in, free shipping from SportBikeTrackGear.com

You will need your US Address to get the free shipping and pay no tax. Set this up with USAddressinc.com, and you only pay $5 per shipment on top of that for the real US Address.

Yessir! I replied here to pitch a Gel battery to you... they're amazing.
Even the inexpensive GS (chinese) Gel batteries available to every shop - they're in the books, both Parts Canada and Motovan.
Tires? Match the front.
Consider replacing the front (it's probably more toasted than you think).
Avoid "racetrack" tires - they don't work well in the cold and wet.
Metzeler Sportec M-5 Interact is a great choice. Or even Z8...
Then you can laugh at your buddies' poor tire mileage, heheh...
