What brand tire did the FT roll off the show room with?
-
A cheesy one! Can't really recall any longer.
I like the Avon RoadRiders. They are a modern compound & design in classic bike sizes.

Bridgestone.

Don't know what the stock tire was but I bought a cheap set of Kenda Challenger tires that work xclnt,have a good footprint and work very well,they stick well,not roadrace tires but they work xclnt on the street less than $130 for a pair.Like to comment on tire pressures,people look at the side of there tire and see it might say max press is 32 psi,this is not what you should be running unless your bike is at max load,you should start with the recommened tire press that the manufacture says this comes straight from the tire manufactures as all the ones I have talked too reommened this.This a commen mistake that many people make,I have asked this question of many tire reps over the years of my street riding and over 40 years of racing,start with the manufactures of your bike pressures first even on modern tires
