Tire info

Right now im looking at two different brands
Pirelli MT66 - ROUTE which are H rated and i can find them in 100/90/19 (front) and 120/90/18 (rear)

the other choice is
Cheng Shin C-6000 Barracuda V rarted and in sizes
100/90/19 (front) 130/80/18 (rear)

Neither rear is exactly the size i would like (130/90/18) as it is the widest that should fit with no issue and the correct profile. The V rating is a plus; but the Pirelli's come in about $30cheaper (not counting shipping which might be a large factor!). Cost is an issue here because im almost done; but running low on funds for this project. I still need to do the breaks and front forks and sprocket and chain.

I put the Barracuda 100-90-19 on my LTD. Nice tire,but I haven't got the bike on the road to test it out. The price was right though, less than 40 bucks from JC Whitney. I will probably get at rear one when the time comes.

Pirelli's are cheaper than Cheng Shins!?!?! Well, I have run both brand tires on my bikes. But, I have only run a Pirelli on the front of my first GPz1100...don't know about your particular tire (MT66) but my tire was sticky, held the road well and was used up in 2000 miles...I couldn't afford to keep those on my bike and I haven't run them since. I now run Cheng Shins and they are cheap enough to replace when worn. I rarely do any excessive riding anymore so 'sliding off the track' is no longer an issue
