Hi guys, I have been riding every day now and my rear tire is wearing out to the point that a piece of small rock size a rice can stab and stick to the tire. I got a flat last month by a small rock on my bike's rear tire, damn it.
I have been noticing that the rear supsension is acting up lately, I feel really weird when turning too. How soon should I get the rear tire? Where can i get a good deal in OC? Do I go to the HOnda dealer or where? Thank you.

Buy a tire wherever you want, honda dealer or motorcycle shop. You'll most likely get a better deal at a shop tires are a personal choice really I love my michelin pilots

Make a call around in your city and see what bike shops will mount tires that you don't buy from them and how much. Some do - some wont (understandable).

If you want a tire that is brand new, there are a few places on eBay that are reputable. If money isn't a big problem, take them to any bike shop and snatch up a set. Most decent shops will mount and balance for free if you buy both the front and the back.

If they don't tell them to shove it because Jo-Jim_Bob down the street does. They'll chaqnge their tune pretty quick.

I've been buying new Pirelli race tires on Ebay from a seller called performancetire. I've bought several 160 rears new for for less than $40. Not great tire for mileage, but awesome for corners or trackdays.

as said depends on the shop u buy them from if u get a good brand n they mount them for within what it will cost u if u buy them off ebay or something n then remove the rims n take it to the shop then go with that just to save the aggrevation of if u have stands n tools . if your tires are smooth n had a flat already i suggest you change it out asap . it is not safe to ride tires that had punctures they are more prone to blow outs .also tires have not much to do with cornering or stability check your suspension set up n tire pressure but as said i would not ride a bike with a repaired tire especially the rear
