Well, I gutted out the the stock Dunlops on my FTR1200, but it's that time (especially for the back tire) - the tires need to go bye-bye, and new ones need to but put on my FTR. I know there are a ton of threads on replacement tires for the FTR1200, but a lot of the threads are older, and I'd also like to know any new information (along with what was previously known) about tire replacements (front and back). I've kept the 19 inch wheel on the front (which of course limits tire choices). I don't need full blown trackday oriented tires (sport touring is fine, as are the dirt/street dual purpose tires like the current FTR Rallys have on them). Since I have the misfortune of occasionally getting caught in rain on occasion during my commutes home from work, I also need decent rain performance.
Oh, and here's the kicker - due to me having major dental work starting this month (a Dental Implant - not cheap, this'll be #4 for me [my mom says I inherited my dad's bad teeth]), if I can do it at a low cost so much the better - otherwise my FTR is going to stay out of commission for an extended amount of time, due to my teeth taking priority over my motorcycle.
