I know what I was going to ask finally. It seems a might difficult to find
tires for a motorcycle. Maybe that's because you don't just drive to the
local tire shop and swap them out for new skins. But I'm looking around the
web at all the tires and scratching my head a bit at what's proper.
Based on my tires, I'm looking at some Pirelli MT66's, but I might as well
of closed my eyes and plopped my finger down on a selection. Based on my
riding I need nice short distance city tires for wet weather. The MT66's
seem to fill that gap and aren't incredibly expensive - about $75 a pop.

Just about anything will probably do for your Honda. The original equipment
tires were cheap and the performance of the motorcycle was modest.
It had 3.25h19 on the front and 3.75s-18 on the rear. The "H" rating was for
130 mph contant speed but the "S" tire was rated for only 112 mph.
