What kind of buns do you favor?

Tires play a pretty important role in motorcycling. Yet, some riders really don’t care what they put on their motorcycle as long as they hold air reliably. At the other extreme, we’ve heard racers discussing tire compounds using terminology you’d expect to from a wine aficionado rather than a couple sweaty guys standing on the side of a race track, wearing brightly-colored leathers. So, where do you fall on the tire spectrum? Are you a bargain shopper, a habitual buyer of the same tire for years, or do you play the field, chasing after the latest nubile rubber creation just hitting the market?
Let us know, below.

Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.
