I'd talk to fatboy250. I like his street tires and he said they were not expensive. N2r/

www.americanmototire.com has good prices and selection.

I have the duro median dual sport tires that work very well on the street.

A set will run about $90 shipped.

I just went to the gallery and looked at fatbot250's pics and I like those tires.
Kat. did you have any clearence problems? Did you have to make any adjustment to make them fit?

No problems. Just put them on. I have a stock sized rear and the front is the only 21" size listed there and it fits fine too. You could probably fit a little wider rear tire. IFront is a little larger than stock, but the street handling is much better. Ride is nice and smooth too.

Pure street tires will probably last longer though and be even better on the street.
