bikebandit.com has a front 110/70-17 for $88.76 (that is stock size for your front tire) and a rear 140/70-17 for $96.98 (only difference is the tire is 10mm wider than stock size) they don't offer the stock sized 130/70-17 rear for your bike but the one I posted will fit just fine without any problems.

They also have a stock size 110/70-17 Pirelli Sport Demon front tire for $105.00 and a stock size 130/70-17 rear is $118.00. So all in all you're paying roughly $37 more for the Pirellis.


I can tell you the Pirelli's will grip more but you wont get the wet traction and overall mileage out of them compared to the bridgestones.

But as for build quality they're both probably on par, Pirelli has a very good rep. Hope I could help you out some.

awesome, thanks for the info bro
